Just changed my 2.7 TDV6 for a MY10 3.0 TDV6 but over the 2 1/2 years i had the 2.7 (from new) it
averaged 27.6 mpg. Very little of my driving was in the city or motorway/dual carraigeway though, mostly the car was on country roads and through small towns. That said I agree with muffd, Fuel economy is not my 1st
priority. The safety of my family, comfort, practicality & go anywhere in any weather are my priorities. 2013 Discovery HSE Luxury - 3.0 SDV6 - Santorini Black

GONE - RRS - 3.0 TDV6 HSE - Santorini (2010)
GONE - RRS - 2.7 TDV6 HSE - Java Black (2007)
GONE - Porsche Boxster S - 3.2 - Black

The last 1000 miles with about 80% highway/20% city averaged 33.6 mpg, am impressed eventough it was without a heavy foot. RRS SDV6 HEV Dynamic

Since we got ours, about 4 weeks ago, average has been 26mpg. Would be a bit higher if I never drove it  Elise S1 - Race Spec

good point

Around the village and semi open country side 31 to 32mpg Motorway under 70mph have recorded 43mpg when virtually alone on the road at night with cruise control in place

Best we ever had is 30mpg on a motorway run.

Tim's right. I normally get 19.5mpg in town/heavy urban driving. Constant motorway run, she'll do 30mpg, no more (70 - 75 mph) 80 - 90 mph she'll do 28mpg. My mate tells me his does way better than this - but he only believes what he reads on a computer screen and is in denial to reality.

This mirrors mine to be honest, both the car mpg and my mates comments about his mpg

Had around 34 on a motorway journey once but couldn't stick to keeping my foot off the accelerator and it went down then to around 28-29

Mine is a TDv8 though, not a TDv6........... 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

My average for last year was 26mpg.
Just had it serviced (4th year apparently needs a new fuel filter) .... now only getting 18.5mpg

I`m hoping it just needs to settle in ? Anyone else experience this ?

Just tanked up after a month of snow, the computer showed 17.7mpg but actuall was 15.9mpg!
I can not see how people can be getting over 30mpg regulaly, once you hit any kind of stop start traffic the fuel economy drops quickly. 2014 Nara Bronze SDV6

I use an i-phone application called "AutoZoid" which is an excellent little package for tracking fuel consumption and other vehicle costs. City driving avreage is 9.7 l/100 kms. The computer shows 8.8.

Yes, I have found something similar. Nearly all my driving is local/town and I used to get 21mpg, went in for the 60k service and now I seem to be getting 18mpg. Only thing that has changed is the weather has got colder unless this has had some effect.
