Good evening to all members.
I have had my new Discovery 5 SE TDI 6, Firenze Red with Panoramic and rear Camera as extras for three weeks now. firstly, I have to say that I am delighted with the vehicle. I have had 3 Discovery 4's and the difference is, I feel extraordinary. I love driving her.
However, using the ECO page, I am driving the car between 95% and 99% but the fuel usage does not seem to be anywhere near what LR state for Urban/Extra Urban etc. Has anyone else found that they are experiencing lower MPG that thy expected !!
Regards to all. Malcolm (Aberdeen Scotland)
TDI 3 litre fuel consumption
Hi Malcolm, I also own a 5SE TDI 6. My fuel economy is better than my Discovery4. I recently took a trip down to the NEC in Birmingham from Blackpool and it averaged 44/46mpg . I maintained around 64 mph when able.. I don’t drive it hard as I know it will pick it’s feet up if required and I am not interested in any other drivers trying to goad me into putting my foot down. I also tow a twin axel caravan
and a trip to Italy and back returned 24 mpg overall. ( speed around 60mph)
Hope this helps

Is that a typo? Should it = 42 mpg?
24 mpg would be a disaster in my terms! Just re-read your post and that mpg was while towing.

I think the 24mpg relates to towing a twin axle caravan. Dont panicTelemarkskier wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2018 9:28 am Is that a typo? Should it = 42 mpg?

3litre SE. Monticello Red. Electric deployable tow bar.
Mine is 3 weeks old with just 340 miles on the clock but it is averaging about 31mpg . I'm currently using Tesco's finest diesel, but plan over the next few weeks to switch to Shell V-Power and see if that has any effect. Watch this space!
MY18 HSE Td6 Santorini/Ebony
Had a trip up to the NEC in Birmingham over the Easter holiday from Hampshire, so about 110 miles one way. I averaged 44mpg which, for a car this heavy, I think is really good.
lol, mind you my son has a BlueMotion Polo, and he took the trip up there - 79mpg on average!
