Default Fuel mileage

Hey everyone, I have a 01 D2 with 89k on it and have a bad fuel gage. Just want to know how many miles to a tank of fuel you all getting with normal type of driving. Maybe half highway and half city.
TIA, Bob

Combination driving, I get about 260 to 280 per tank. I average 13 in town 15.5 combination trail and highway and about 18.5 MPG on the road.

Are you sure? I`ve been filling up when I hit 300. Then when I fill up it takes about 18 gal. Tank is about 25 gal isn`t it? This is why I `m asking. Maybe I`m on the verge of running out?? But my math doesn`t add up. I may be wrong on the 300 but I`ll have to check.

I fill up at 300 as well. It seems we are getting better milage than most. Probably just location differences.

I typically fill about 300 also. My driving is almost all freeway, no stop and go.

I think that our rotten 91 octane gas hurts us a bit here in California. Plus I've noticed better mileage at higher altitude (within reason).

I just filled up on Turkey day and I had 321 miles on. It took slightly over 19 gal to fill up. I run 93 octane all the time. I guess fuel mileage wise I cant complain. Hummm! If only the dumb fuel gauge would work right!
Thanks everyone!

I get roughly 300. But that is useally alil under 1/4th of a tank left (I've had very bad experience on my old isuzu when it went under 1/4 of a tank) thus i always fillup at 1/4 of a tank... I just dont trust those fuel gagues... liquid and floating device doesnt mix

Street tyres are better are better than offroad road tyres,
I thought most people took their LR's offroad.

My Rover is a weekend machine whichdoesdouble duty. On and off road. Had it 2 weeks ago on a club function which I was amazed what it could do. It is totally stock. But found out I do want a lift and better tires right away. { Bashed in front air dam }[:@]
