Between 30 & 35mpg seems to be the average but that you can forget if you put your foot down on the motorway ours will nearly do a ton but dont recomend it.Fuel consumption gets silly over 60/70mph.

Well it all seems positive so far. I would actually rather have a Freelander Commercial, but there don't seem to be many around for my small budget. I wanted as much space as possible for the dogs as they are really the only passengers!
We're going to look at the Disco tomorrow and my husband has already convinced himself that we're buying it and he's trying to convince me too, but I'm determined not to let him talk me into what he wants this time as I'm the only driver. I can't afford to make a mistake again, I'll never hear the last of it if I dare complain about the fuel consumption!

Don't bother with them unless you have VERY deep pockets, just look in the freelander section.

That's what I was told about the Disco! I bought a Freelander.
Not a petrol one I hope. only big problm on a disco is body rot. Which is easily sorted if you don't let it get the upperhand. The major problems on freelanders especially petrol ones are too many to list in one post. and the increased cost of keeping them on the road will easily wipe out any savings you make on fuel economy.
Yes, it's a petrol. We had to get what we could for the little money we had. I need something with plenty of room for two large dogs and with the seats folded forward they have loads of room. They seem to be very popular as most of the ones I phoned up to see were sold. I've heard good reports and bad so I took a gamble.

I'd have gone for a disco you'd have got more for your money. and if or when it breaks it would have been much much cheaper than any thing on the Gaylander. The 1.8K series petrol are notorious for poor build quality and head gasket failure. (HGF) have a search on here and I hope you don't come to regret your gamble.
