Can you better this? 40.1 mpg

At the weekend I had full service done on my l322 2006 diesel vogue.
Today driving to work I thought I would check if it made a difference to my mpg.
So I zeroed my mpg meter and set of for Selby from North Sheffield.
At rip of around 46 miles.
I drove nice and steady and watched as I managed to top out at 40.1 as I entered Selby.

Awesome or what?

Lol !

Even mine says that when you zero the mpg figures !

Yes but this was after 40 odd miles.
The best I'd had prior to recent service on the same run was 36.9mpg
So the service made a huge difference.

You seriously believe what the screen is telling you?? Lol

Do a brim to brim then work it out

Your name sums up my reply.

The screen on my P38 is accurate to a tenth of an mpg since I removed the power box unless you reset the trip 2 on a part tank. Re-set on full and it's reliable

Lol
Are ya jealous?

No seriously I average 30 mpg normally. That's 2 years of driving the thing with various degrees of thrashing or driving miss daisy.
But today I wanted to find out what she would do on a decent flat run after a service.


I'm happy.

If you can get 40 mpg out of your range rover then you would be a very rich man indeed

I'm laughing because I now realise my car has a great engine!
Obviously your old rot boxes are gas guzzling LPG eating oils drinking V8s.

Do I have to video my journey with my iPhone pointed at my fuel computer? To prove that I can get 40 mpg on a run?raise:raise:lol

Brim to brim calculations will suffice.

Dems da

Mines not a gas guzzling v8 either

Same as your td6 doozle tractor

I think those MPG figures your posting are when the car is being towed by the AA ?
Lol

I am getting at the very best 21 mpg for town driving and 24 mpg for a run. The vehicle was serviced which is a Range Rover Vogue 3.6 TD1 2007, just 2000 miles ago. What am I doing wrong (i am a fairly steady driver no harsh accelerating etc).

Isn't yours the V8 motor? I think the OP has the Td6.

Yea, well the 3.6 gives it away

the best I've ever had is 30.1 on the display after doing a 100miles at about 60 mph then got bored and pushed it to 80 and rest of the trip dropped it back to the usual 25.

The TDV8 is supposed to be more frugal though.
