I've put almost 17K miles on my LR2 (bought in May) and probably averaged about 18 mpg over that time. In around-town driving I get about 16 mpg, on the highway 19 or 20. Note, however, that my highway driving is typically close to 80 mph. Once on a 75 mile trip where I had to go about 55 the whole way, I got about 25 mpg. But much more typical is the 800 mile trip I recently made with five of us (plus dog and some luggage) going 75-80 mph when not stuck in traffic, climbing hills on Routes 91, 84 and 95 in New England, and a mix of cold and very cold temps. Total trip average was 19.5 mpg. I'd say that's not bad given all the conditions. The cold definitely hurt. The average on the first leg was over 20 mpg. It wasn't until we had sub-20 degree temps on the return trip that the total average dropped below 20 mpg. The weight of the six of us (big dog) hurts of course too. But I think the biggest factor is the high speeds. I'm always surprised when I see people claiming to get 22-24 mpg in their LR2s, but then I think they must be driving a lot slower than I. And probably in warmer climates. |

Replying to: moogles (Jan 28, 2008 5:09 pm) The loaner they gave me for the last two days, I have been getting about 17.8 MPG average so far. Something is fishy .... Hopefully the software update they are doing to my LR2 will improve things. Otherwise, is this a lemon ??? I'll post an update after I drive on the software update for a little time. |

Replying to: jeyhoe (Mar 11, 2008 7:50 am) I brought it back to delaer, they opened a ticket with corporate office. My drive is .5 mile 'city' and then 9 miles highway and then .5 mile city again. I should be getting something like 20 MPG round trip right? Well not even close. If I reset the MPG while driving on highway at 55mph, I will eventually average 22 MPG. I think the city driving is the problem, and am getting about 8 to 10 MPG when driving speeds are about 30 MPH. As a reality check to let you know I am not insane ... the loaner car I got from LandRover would get about 27 MPG when resetting at 55 MPH and would average about 19MPG when commuting to and from work for 3 days. The cars had the same options, except they had Navigation package. ????? THOUGHTS ????? My gearhead friend's best idea is that this is a case of a mass air flow sensor or O2 sensor that is barley out of spec and not creating an error. I need help, really love this car, but not meeting MPG expectations. I will open lemon suit if need be. |

I just broke 10k miles on my LR2 and have consistently gotten 20 mpg - combo of city/hwy driving. All highway driving gets me about 24 mpg.
