Just done a 240 mile trip home from Crawley to Manchester this evening. I stuck to 50 mph (Painful i know) to see what the cruiser could do on economy. I filled up to the top of the neck as i left Crawley and then filled up to top of neck again when home in manchester Just over 5 hours later. The fuel gauge was still on 3/4 of a tank.
I used 24.72 litres of diesel for the 240 mile trip which equates to 44.2 MPG.
The trip was all motorway except for about 20 miles of road, i used BP Ultimate Diesel and always do. My Landcruiser is the original 2006 iInvincible with the TTE Chip as standard.
If you take away the fuel guzzling cold start and the 20 miles of roads we used i bet i was doing about 46 to 47 mpg once warmed up on the motorway.
I'm astonished.
Previous best was 40MPG doing 60 MPH.
