Landrover 110 station wagon

[William]

Hi guys just wondered what a 300tdi 110 station wagon would be like on fuel? what about around the town? and also on the motorway? whats its most economical speed? Also roughly what speed to expect without thrahsing it on the motorway. The landy itself would be around the N or P pale. thanks guys xx

From what I've heard (I've got a TD5 myself):

15ish mpg in town maybe
25ish motorway if you're gentle
seem to like cruising at about 60-65 on the motorway although 40-50's a good speed for economy on any other road.

Hope that helps :) Obviously all these figures vary a lot (my own truck gets 20mpg if I'm doing 80 and 26 if I do 70, although I'm not exactly light on the pedal ;))

You'd get a bit more than that...

My 300Tdi 90 does anything between 25 and 30 depending on how I drive it...  24/25/26 is about the average... or lower if towing or crusing above 70 mph on the motorway.  I have seen 28/29 at best when staying at 65mph on the motorway on a longer run.

I used to get the same out of my 200Tdi 110 CSW....

This is my 300Tdi 110 fuel usage over the last 40,000 miles. I run 235/85 BFG ATs and generally tavel at 55-60mph where appropriate. The peaks and troughs are summer/winter consumption.

I have a 1998 (R reg) 300tdi 110 hardtop.
My engine is totally standard.  Over the summer i have been averaging 29 mpg, with a range from 27 to 32.
In the winter however i have been averaging 26 mpg, ranging from 25 to 29.

Hope that helps

Cheers guys that does help. I was hoping for more to be honest, is a 200tdi more economical? I thort the 300 would be as its a more refined engine. What would a 200tdi do to the gallon in the same situations ? xx

I get around the same from my 200tdi One-Ten CSW (I've got a Disco transferbox fitted but that only quietens things down - doesn't seem to affect the MPG much).

Don't forget it's pulling a lot of metal around and it has the aerodynamics of a house brick! :D

whats its most economical speed?

All Land Rovers are at their most economical when they stand still.  That way you don't have to put fuel in them and they don't break at all.  If you are wondering how you can get one to stand still, believe me it's easy, just buy one, break it and watch it stand.

Yeah I have a 110SW 300Tdi and I get on average 30mpg with all things standard

Yeh thats what i was expecting mate, my old 90 NA can get 28-32 depending so iwas rather hoping for a 300 on average to be better.

I haven't checked mine for a long time. The last check over three months while in Botswana, Namibia and South africa.
Roof rack fitted and jerry cans with other stuff on the roof and rack.
Various types of road from tar to sand. GVW most of the time between 3.300 and 3.400kg.
Fuel consumption 27mpg.


I do admit to an uprated intercooler and the fuel injection pump optimised. Better lowdown torque and the use of 5th gear limit.
Hey but that Southern African diesel is real rubbish.
