Here's an idea, put the t-case in high range!!!![sm=joke.gif]. My '99 DII gets right at 18 on the highway and the cruise set at about 60[sm=smiley20.gif]. Only about 14 around town (not city).

 

I went on a long3 hr. trip,almost allhighway, going right at 72 mph and got about 15 or 16 mpg. On the trip home, I kept it closer to 80mph and got a solid 17 mpg. I'll have to retest this.

I think keeping the engine in therightpower band may be the way to go. Anybody know when the peak torque occurs on these engines?

Oh yeah, a solid 13 mpg around town.

 

I know when my Freelander was stock I got a best of 26mpg going 88-94 mph

 

Is that with a tail wind and going downhill?

 

If I remember correctly it was around 21 gallons, no I havent changed the O2 sensors yet, setting up a time for the LR dealer to run the codes for the CEL and the ABS lights.

 

you can run by Autozone and they will read your CEL for free.... Don't pay the dealer...

 

Checker auto parts couldnt find the plug the first time I was there, now that I know where it is I will take it back to them. AFAIK, they cannot check the ABS light, so that would be a dealer issue. If the dealer charges the same for both as they do for just the ABS check, then Ill go there instead.

 

I doubt it, and they probably won't clear the codes unless you have them fix it. Don't know what year you have, but I would find a small shop with a scanner and have them check your ABS and get the CEL codes from a parts store...

 

When you get your new wires and spark plugs in; and after you get the oil changed. buy BG (CF5 or 44k) and add it to the gas tank. Its kinda expensive but its WELL WORTH IT. it made the difference in getting 280 (light comes on) miles to a tank to 315 (light comes on). And as far as the K&N with the MAF. If you buy a K&N (which i have with many euro cars that are sensitive) just take an air compressor and blow some of the oil out so there is not as much oil.

 

Yup, that's actually the first question that should be asked. How many gallons did you put in and did you fill it up?How many gallons did you put in after you drove it all week and did you fill it up?Now, how many miles did you drive betweek fill ups.

Nothing can be deduced Just saying that you drove 150 miles on a tank. How large is your tank?
