Had to shoot upto Anglesey to check progress on the house my next big kitchen is being fitted in so jumped in the Disco at 4.30am 3-1/2 hours and 211 miles later I was there put the builders right on there cock ups took a stroll on the private beech and set of back, only to be greeted with the news my sprayer had run out of paint for the kitchen so I set off to get the paint then shot down to see current kitchen customer in Northampton, I finally got home at 6.30 pm having covered a total of 535 miles today with the range showing 120 but I think I’ll be happy with 65 to make it a 600 mile tank not bad for a 14 year old car with 253,000 miles on the clock, days like today remind me why I love driving the Disco it just eats up the milesRange Rover Westminster 4.4 TDV8 what a car

Mileage done so far is real the range says 120 but I think 60 the fuel low light hasn’t come on yet so I’m confident I’ll get 600 out of this tankRange Rover Westminster 4.4 TDV8 what a car

Without being on the back of a transporter on the way home that is more than impressive.
Happy with 350 from mile.

I've got remapped 2.7 auto on AT tyres. I normally get at least 500 miles from a tank. I've got 600 before going up to Scotland.
Went for a long trip in a standard manual car it barely managed 400?
All standard just a non stop drive to Angelsey at 70 I’ve just driven to Devon 211 miles with six adults pulling around 600k trailer and the mpg was reading 37 I’ll wait till I get back home to see how it really works out For realRange Rover Westminster 4.4 TDV8 what a car

My high miler2007 D3 will happily give 33/4 mpg on the motorway at normal speeds. It’s had a remap though. Think that helps. It gives 24/5 mpg when it’s doing local trips. Winter generally lowers the local figure a mpg or so but that’s simply down to running rich when cold so often. I do a 1,000 mile a month commute and the D3 does probably a third of this as I use my wife’s more frugal Volvo when it’s available.
I find I can get 36/7 mpg on my commute if I really take it easy- 60 mph on the dual carriageways and the motorway but it’s more to keep the trip entertaining than for economy. Ridiculously the trip home cannot be done within 2 mpg of the trip to work. Gravity can’t be beaten. They definitely do better once you have them rolling and accelerating from a standstill kills the fuel,economy. Two and three quarter tonnes and gravity see to that.Discovery 3 tdv6 HSE 2007
