MPG on Freelander Td4 3 Door Commercial...ballpark??!

Hi all, I'm thinking of buying a 2002 Freelander commercial and I'm looking at the Td4 diesel but I do quite a bit of mileage so I want something reasonably economical. Does anyone have a 3 door commercial td4 that could give me some guideline on mpg figures?? Apologies if this info is on search, I tried searching but it kept coming back with an error :monitor_punch:

How long is a piece of string? How heavy are your boots?

Three door and commercial doesn't matter - all the TD4s are similar as far as mpg is concerned.

Depends on how you drive it.

My minimum in towns and cities is around 27mpg - but on a long haul if I keep it in 5th gear and don't flog it much above 65mph I can easily get well over 40mpg.

Oh - and Welcome to LandyZone by the way.

Hi depending on service statis , 30mpg round town , i can get 41+ on a run

Thanks for the info guys. Would the reduced weight of the commercial not give better fuel economy? The autotrader website shows combined mpg figures of 44 but I don't know how much faith I'd put in that. Most of my driving is in the country, don't do much in town, and I drive between 50 and 70 miles a day. I'd definitely be hoping to get early forties to may it practical for me!

In theory you're right - lower kerb-weight should give more mpg - but in the real world???

My mpg varies much more depending on the speed I drive than the loads I carry.

I have the 3 door td4, but auto not manual. Day to day round town and hoonin about gets me in the region of 28/29, on a run maybe as much as 33.
