Doing about 150/ week normal diesel and fill tank to very brim back to 0 and next time I fill I check mileage

Any good mechanic recommendations also

Cheers

so short trips and stop and go traffic. Drive 3 miles here stop and then 5 miles here and stop= equals low MPG. Get on a motor way and go is only way for decent mpg.

Is only rated for 17.9 MPG for city/stop and go traffic and 28.5 highway. So you are in the ballpark. I would say driving habits and tyre psi should be looked at

Service might help as will some premium dezul. And the redex that your getting. And yes, less of the loud peddle. Automatic brick shaped objects aint ever gonna be that effecient.

I get 21mpg on a daily run 4 miles traffic 10miles motor way then the same back again

Blimey!

I average 18mpg in a 4.6

When I bought my 4.6 average was 12 ! Service, new plugs, leads and replacement of the coil packs it now averages 18, non motorway driving , I don't boot it though.

Whats the point of surviving to 100 if youve never lived?

As soon as somebody other than me has to clean me up in the morning after crapping in my pyjama's, is a year too late pushing me into the path of a double decker or John Deere with a Clauss round baler.

Drowning in alchohol, as is the British way, is not living IMO.

I can see the problem OP was having. Owning a Range Rover in London. When you visit the country to you take a Chieftain Tank with you? ####ing inbred townies. "Oh my god, my neighbour has a new S Class, I need a bigger car to show I am important."

If you care about MPG, a 4x4 isn't for you, stick to G-Wizzs or Polo diesels.
