Tried the pumped up tyres, no real change.

Downloaded that app so should be interesting I see what my actual is as the car says an indicated 25.1 usually. In loving memory of FA54WSK.

Rest well old friend, your work is done.

Quick note on apps - I'm on Android and use a simple app called Fuelly Web App that I use to enter fill-ups for my Fuelly account.

The app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fuelly.app

And of course:
http://www.fuelly.com/
...where there are already a decent number of Disco 3 Turbo diesels that we can compare to:

Apps are only as good as the data that's put into them. My mother uses the Roadbook app for folk's D4 and is convinced she's getting high 30s mpg, reality is she doesn't log all the fill ups and getting low 20s.

Here's what 100k worth of data looks like, now where's my geek smilie?? Whistle

I don't bother logging overseas fuel so prob 20% of the mileage doesn't have the unit cost in there. Seeing 42p/ltr from Tunisia and 89p/ltr from Andorra would be too depressing. Wish it was 79.5 p/ltr. Big Cry Big Cry Big Cry

PS Plus a big chunk of costs missing from the beginning, ISTR just logged miles & ltrs for a bit. I just remember diesel was under 90p/ltr.
