Def 110 td5 mileage
Hoping for some help. Have 200kms on it. Seems to run great but get about 16mpg max. I'm new to the td5 so here is how its setup, some of which I know doesnt help mileage. I dont have a fast tune in it and dont hot rod the car. It's an overland vehicle so lots of trails and freeway stuff getting there. I usually run 70MPH on the freeway. Any reason why the mileage is so poor?

Sounds about right for all those mods. Tuned ECU and the big tires with the lift kill it. Big Cry 2010 Range Rover MkIII Autobiography Super Charged (Idris)

The 70 figure and most of the list after it are the cause of the mpg. đź‘Ťđź‘Ť

At 70mph, I’m just shy of 2,400rpm in 5th. That’s with 1.2 transferbox gear set and 285/75/R16 tyres. Seems to sit very happily at that speed/rpm. Charlie

5th gear and 35 mph (56 kph) should be about as economical as is possible when driving a shed... Ex scottish & southern 110 Td5 van (shed) with PTO driven winch (L-R special vehicles)

US or UK gallons?

I get 25 mpg (UK) out of mine when I'm not trying to drive economically, and that's with a lift, 265/75 tyres and a roofrack. That equates to 21mpg (US). Your figure doesn't sound too far off the mark with the lift, cage, bigger tyres and driving at 70.

Currently I'm getting near 30mpg (UK) out of it, but I haven't been over 55mph in about 3 weeks!

Hi, yes USA mpg. I swapped the km speedo for a MPH one. It reads about 3m mph slow at 70 but that's pretty close. 04 110 TD5

My long time average is just below 8km/ltr so approx 18 mpg US. Most on 235 85 BFG MT's and some on 35"Simexes and off-road driving.

Speed is the main killer stay below 90 km/hr and you save a lot. Roel

I have a very mildly tuned ECU (no smoke at all) everything else is stock. No suspension mods nothing. I have a Roamerdrive as well. I get 27-28 mpg. I can get 30 but that is with a Very conservative throttle foot and keeping it under 100kph. Which I can almost never do. Laughing 2010 Range Rover MkIII Autobiography Super Charged (Idris)

I believe that if you calculate with the UK gallon 4.54 ltr but not if you use the us gallon 3.78 ltr. Roel

As the UK is a former colony of Canada Rolling with laughter We too once used the same “Imperial” gallon but alas we, like the rest of the free world, moved to litres decades ago unlike the UK and the united states of hysteria. Laughing

So yes its is the 4.5 litre gallon as a comparator Thumbs Up 2010 Range Rover MkIII Autobiography Super Charged (Idris)
