England 2007 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Auto Buckingham BlueDiscovery 3
Fuel computer

Just an observation. I filled up just before Christmas. The projected range was 443 miles so I reset the trip meter. I rain it down to the fuel light coming on and 30 miles. The trip meter said I had actually covered 350 miles. Admittedly there was a day out on the moors driving lanes.

Projected range is based on past fuel usage - it cannot predict how light footed or heavy footed you will be in the future - in your case you were obviously burning more fuel after the fill than you were before the fill.

It was from a little bit below where this pic was taken, Port d’Envalira in Andorra down into France ISTR. Lots of engine breaking. Thumbs Up

And don’t get me started on those pesky horses. I was well off road up a track to nowhere, D3 campervanning, and I thought they were sweet. Until they started trying to eat the car!! Evil or Very Mad
