#6 of 55 Re: LR2 gas mileage [roberto6] by jeyhoe Jul 17, 2007 (6:42 pm)
Replying to: roberto6 (Jul 17, 2007 4:00 pm) I have been averaging 10.2 L per 100 Km   Let's see, that's 10.2L*4.3l/g caarry the 1, subtract the ... DOH! what's that in mpg? :>)   Anyway, thanks for the prompt responses. North of 21 mpg sounds reasonable. Better than my, ahem, Navigator for sure.   93 octane though - best I can get here in California is 91 and it costs $3.57 gallon right now. DOH!

Replying to: jeyhoe (Jul 17, 2007 6:42 pm) You need to write that as 100 km/ 10.2 L first then multiply by the appropriate conversion factors. Or, just look it up here:   See more Car Pictures at CarSpace.com   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper

Replying to: 08lr3 (Jul 17, 2007 8:39 pm) Thanks for data. Certainly I would expect that sport mode would not be used when u want best mpg?

Replying to: jeyhoe (Jul 17, 2007 12:09 pm) I'm at 9 weeks and roughly 3000 miles with my LR2. Over the past few weeks I have averaged 17.8 mpg which includes a mix of 70-80 mph I85 travel to dead crawl Atlanta traffic. I do a fair amount of city driving as I live in midtown Atlanta. I've see 24 mpg with just interstate travel. Always normal mode using 93 octane gas ($3.17 lately). Replies to this message: 08lr3 (Jul 18, 2007 8:14 am)

Replying to: comerbuck (Jul 18, 2007 7:42 am) just the past few days that I've been using sport. Is sure sees to sift rough - agree? I mean I understand the sport and all, but just seem jumpy and can't determine what gear to be in. maybe its part of the break in stuff still.

Replying to: 08lr3 (Jul 17, 2007 8:39 pm) Sport mode will use significantly more fuel as the transmission is almost always in a gear lower then normal. Also in sport mode the transmission down shifts more aggressively when braking or going down hill. Replies to this message: haagd (Jul 22, 2007 4:23 pm)

Replying to: british_rover (Jul 18, 2007 8:18 am) I have had my LR2 for about 3 months and have 9600 miles on it. I am averaging around 22.3 miles per gallon.
#14 of 55 when does it get better? by lakes00 Jul 31, 2007 (4:36 pm)
Hi, I've had my my new LR2 for 3 weeks now and have about 800 miles under its belt. I love the style, features & driving, but I am worried about the MPG.   I got about 16 MPG on the first week with 60/40 city/hwy driving, in the following 2 weeks I am doing the same 60/40 city/hway but now I'm getting 15.2 to 15.5 MPG. I drive conservative without hard acceleration as I'm in break in period...never in sport mode and try to use manual quite often as I see a slight improvement in MPG. I keep hoping/thinking that MPG will improve after break in..but wanted to ask if there is a steep improvement after break in?

#15 of 55 Middle grade gasoline by gbkirsch Aug 04, 2007 (4:05 am)
Has anyone had any experience using middle grade gasoline and do you think there are any negatives doing so?   I have been averaging 17.5 MPG in all city driving. Will using high test bring better fuel mileage??? Replies to this message: steve_ (Aug 04, 2007 7:38 am)
