First Tank - Guess the Fuel Economy
Filled Beastie up on Wednesday in Chester at the local Esso station, then drove across Chester, down to Stoke and then home down the M6/M5/M42. Had the driver and 5 16" Boost Alloys and Tyres in the back.

Since then she's done some town driving and in total has done 275 miles. Filled her again today, anyone want to take a guess as to the MPG?

She's done 38,000 miles in total and has a Twisted Remap.

Well I think you all know I've been pleasantly surprised by everything about her so far (other than the rubbish speakers!). So as a clue I will say I'm once again pleasantly surprised Smile

2.4 Puma 'loosened up' at 38K

Should be between 25-30 MPG
So I'll go for 27.5

Any more than 30, keep it to yourself... Exclamation SKIP

Haha!

I have a wrapper from a Chocolate Eclair I got from TH White yesterday. Will that do as your prize?

Hello CatherineF

...Interesting (I know not for some who don't like any discussion on MPG)

But I have had my 2.4 90 for 14 Months now and have taken it from 6K to 13K,
a nifty app on my phone led me to keep a running record... which I know I will soon
give up on as it's very predictable.

Best 31.9
Worst 26.7
Average 28.8

What I have noticed (not surprisingly) is that a higher maintained average speed drive
at around 60 MPH in 6th, and it will return around 30.0 MPG

Considering what we're driving it isn't so bad. SKIP

Caterham.... ???? You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.
