It is so interesting that the P400 seems to be averaging lower than the P300, I am averaging 18 with 70% city and 30% highway.

 

My gut feeling is if I use Trip A or B setting for entire tank based upon my mix of driving I will be around 22 mpg. I looked at it stop by stop to get a picture of what short intermediate and long legs average. You can also look back at journeys recorded in your LR REMOTE app on phone for the average milage over different legs. Tap on the right pointing arrowhead to see details.

 

I am driving mostly highway with some city driving and I am averaging 17MPG with an average speed on the highways of ~75.

 

After several months of driving on the P300, I have come to this simple conclusion. Keep the Defender at 65 and you will get fantastic gas miles for a driving brick.

 

But whats the fun in that?

 

I agree. I did a 500 mile trip yesterday in my P300 on interstate, 4 lane highway, 2 lane, and a National Forest mountainous, curvy section (lots of ZOOM ZOOM -- porsches, corvettes, MB and motorcycles enjoying the twisities on a pretty spring day -- and yes, I did pull over once to let one pass ), and found myself going in the low 70s to 75 area --- instead of my normal 65.

The P300 seems to do its work on asphalt more smoothly at 65 than 75. 65 just seems to be the sweet spot where it keeps the revs down to a more efficient and consistent ride. It shows in the MPGs.

 

What did was your MPG average on your trip?

 

I do weekly trips from Brooklyn to the Catskills region. Around 115 miles one way with about 2/3rds on open highway and I'm averaging 18mpg in a P400 with a roof rack and roof box...so brick on top of a brick.

 

19.3 mpg

sorry i did not include previously

 

These numbers are disappointing. To put things in perspective, my 2012 LR4 V8 got me 15 mpg average over a 100 mile daily round trip commute (90 miles highway @ 75-80mph and 10 miles city)
