#26 of 55 Re: when does it get better? [lakes00] by 08lr3 Aug 18, 2007 (9:58 am)
Replying to: lakes00 (Aug 17, 2007 11:43 am) with 2800 miles under the hood, just finished up a 325 mile trip (which took the tank for the trip) 3/4 autobahn driving trucking between 80-90, on the way back ran 110 for a good distance. Plus, 1/4 of the journey, hills and sport shift driving the mountains, a/c about hour of entire 6 hr round trip. Betsy, the LR2, says she figured 20.1 mpg (i have never reset the mpg computer from birth), I figured with the gas I just added vs miles drive = 20.91 (burned 16.64 gls) - not too bad given my 06 Ridgeline would get 425mi out of a 21 gal tank. That was all premium gas. I filled up with the regular stuff for a trip tomorrow to Frankfort and back to Kaiserslautern and on to Trier, we will see what the octane does for mileage on Betsy. oh and the sunroof was open most of the time, if that makes any real difference.   yes, my LR2 is Betsy, it just slipped out one day and stuck. My MINI was named Java for her beautiful Pepper White color.. ok guess enough right
#27 of 55 22.1mpg by roundstone Aug 20, 2007 (6:30 pm)
Just finished 2,400 mile round trip last week from NY to Florida. All highway mileages. Trip computer indicated average 22.1 mpg.   92oct. AC on all time. Not too bad.
#28 of 55 21.4 mpg by lville Sep 04, 2007 (1:37 pm)
Have about 1,600 miles on my LR2. Getting 21.4 mpg on 93 octane gas, 60/40 highway/city split. A/C always set to AUTO. Virtually never use sport mode. BTW, this is about the same mpg that I got on my 2004 BMW X3.
#29 of 55 Its all depends on speed and usage by fanrover Sep 11, 2007 (10:15 am)
Definitely if you are not averaging atleast 40mph out of all types of drives then you are burning a lot of fuel. The mileage drops really bad when you drive slow. And forget about leaving the car on with ac. It does live up to what it says 16-23. You get 16 or less mileage when drive at 20-25 mph with ac on and all the stops at traffic lights, and with the backed up traffic trails. The same way you get 23 or more, yes more when you average at 60-70mph on free moving traffics or highways. My bet is if you really wanna enjoy this car just try to wake up real early or wake up real late and by pass the rush hour. Bcuz when your in the rush hour you can't complain about mileage. I am averaging upto 17 mpg even with the slow traffic, bcuz some times the roads open up and i zoom off. Well thats Austin, dunno how it works in other cities.
#30 of 55 16 MPG first few days. by zbob Sep 20, 2007 (4:06 pm)
Getting 16 mpg after 4 days and about 200 miles of nasty city traffic in Wash DC area. Not bad and I suspect it will increase a bit as the engine and other moving parts wear in.

Replying to: lakes00 (Aug 17, 2007 11:43 am) Hey Lakes, Did you reset the MPG display? If not, you are seeing average MPG from mile 0. Not surprising that it is still in the 15's. You reset it by holding in the display change button for a few seconds.

#32 of 55 break in length by dubroz Dec 12, 2007 (1:47 pm)
Replying to: zbob (Sep 21, 2007 4:53 am) I have had a new LR2 for about 2 weeks now. Completed a trip from Boston to NJ and back again. I got 19 mpg with all highway no traffic.   My commute to work is 60/40 highway/city and I get abour 16 mpg. I am not an aggressive lead footed driver.   WTF ???? Is this a break-in thing or should I call the dealer?   . Replies to this message: slaughlin (Dec 22, 2007 10:15 am) jeyhoe (Dec 23, 2007 8:29 am) slaughlin (Dec 29, 2007 7:07 am) and 1 more...

Replying to: slaughlin (Dec 22, 2007 10:15 am) Great data Steve. Looks like u can get 22-23 on the road. Can I ask how u drive? I mean, hot foot in sports mode? Or slow cruise to 60-65mph tops? ANd is a lot of the lower numbers due to city?   Thanks and Merry Christmas. Replies to this message: slaughlin (Dec 29, 2007 7:07 am) jcmanhattan (Jan 22, 2008 11:29 pm)
