Full tank. What's your remaining mileage?
Reckon this is in KMs for all you 'Mericans...
515 miles is 320 kms
Cuz that is about what I get. I don't measure in KMs but in time. So 5 hours of driving at 100km/h is right in this ballpark. And that is my average with a 2007 LR3 SE with the V6 with 33 inch Nitto TRAIL Grapplers and cargo.
also, as far as I can tell, most people report the same range (fuel efficiency) for both the V6 and the V8. Likely due to the extra weight of the truck in the V8 format (larger engine, larger brake rotors, calipers and pads, etc.)

Should have been 535 MPT , but I just forgot to check it and take picture after fill up that time.
I currently have 172 000 miles on it and drives like a dream. I think there are a few factors , that translate to my numbers .
I use premium fuel only, change air filter every 10 000 miles , keep tires inflated properly at all times , with weekly pressure check ups,differential fluids changed every 25 000 miles along with a T case fluid , injection and induction services done every 50 000 with BG 44 K added to fuel tank every 10 000 miles , but most importantly I keep my speed around 75 mph and try to be at 2100 RPMs, when on the highway ( that is when our V8 is the most efficient ),always in the Command Shift , when traveling long stretches of the highways, keep my AC on Recirculate mode , for less strain on the system and basically don't speed like a maniac. LR3 is certainly NOT a race car and I treat her with respect.If I wanted a fast car I would have bought a Tesla model S with upgrade battery.I also try not to go below 1/2 a tank, especially in Winter , to prevent unnecessary water condensation on top of tank ,from Ethanol based fuels. What I find out from fellow member Bbyer , another 1/2 a tank to fill up cost about the same as the one that's already in it and that helps a fuel pump to stay cool for sure, as fuel it it's only defense from overheating. Cheers.
