Hello,

Can anyone tell me the maximum mileage I can expect to get out of my Freelander 1.8 XEI 1998 / S. I am changing jobs and will be doing about 40 miles per day along dual carriageway and motorway. I may be forced to let her go for something more economical.

Not alot, 1.8's are very thirsty, take the propshaft off and you'll get more mileage out of your tyres too
 
went from kent to yorkshire in mine before xmas and it did 31 mpg.thats sticking to 70-75 mph. although everyday driving i probably get about 26 mpg. wish i had a TD4:(
 
Always around the 30 mpg mark, does not differ to much between country lanes and motorways, not that i ever go above 70 really anyway.
 
Our Xedi returns about 35 mpg.:) Mind you Mrs Taipan is such a slow driver, if you had decent pair of Nikes on you could beat her away from the lights!:rolleyes: :D

I was getting way less than that in a 2 month old 1.8 on a trip from cardiff to gaydon and back
 
35 Taipan? :eek: You need to come round and let me have a tinker under yer bonnet! Checked theres no holes in yer fuel tank?:D
Tiny is nearer the 46 mark on a nice run.;) There again...there isnt much in the way of internal drag at her age...nice and loose...just how I like her.:D

Actually you migt be right. I think it is better than that. Mrs T reckons it s a lot better than my ol' Xantia and that gives about 35mpg.

I disrespected my Freelander.:eek: Serves it right. I'll give it vibration!:mad: :D

That's teh weird thing. Despite te headaches with the vibration problem I still like the car. Mrs Taipan loves it and wont hear of its disposal. If I could just nail ths damn vibration problem..... Mind you, then what would I do with my weekends?;) :D
