I was curious what gas mileage your LR3 gets city and highway?

The last two times I filled up all local I got 10,60 and 9.94mpg. My engine is 4.4L. That seems low. I also have a 2001 Yukon with a 5.3L which gets about 13.5 and 14 local.

 

im lucky to get 14mpg and 17mpg highway. i dont really rely on the obc computation...

 

I basically write the mileage down and when I go the gas station I wrote the mileage and take the difference and calculate the it myself.

I recently bought the truck. First Land Rover, it feels like I feel differential is engaged but it runs very smooth.

does anyone know if there is a motor that engages and disengages the diff and it is stuck n engaged mode?

 

The LR3 is a full time 4x4. Could it be that? And it weighs a lot I believe.

 

Typical driving I get 18mpg on the freeway. If I try to get good mileage (sticking the speed limit) I can get 22mpg.
...and I'm talking from Seattle to Portland, 22.

 

I'd run a can of BG44K (or your favorite injector cleaner) through it and check your MAF and air filter are clean. That's abnormally low.

Assuming you're at stock height and tire size

I'd get 17-18 on the highway on short trips (under an hour). And when I drive from RI to Las Vegas, I got 21 for the trip (hand calculated)

 

i was thinking of putting some BG44K. I have an Autel scanner which I plan on using to check fuel trims, MAF, etc to see if something is evident.

I did go searching around the forums regarding the differential. My understanding is that LR3 are always in AWD. Again you are right it is too low. I will be definitely looking into it.

The Yukon mentioned above is also about 1.5 MPG of what it used to be. So I have two trucks with the same issue though the LR3 more of a concern based on all the feedback above.

 

I get around 14.0-14.5 with mixed driving, for reference.

 

Some ideas beyond the ones that have been mentioned:
- stuck caliper (piston)
- stuck brake shoe

Both of these usually present themselves as a slightly burning smell, warm/hot wheel, warm/hot caliper, jumpy driving at 60-90 km/hm etc. very noticeable contribution to bad fuel economy - 20 l/100 km easily achievable……..

Depending on where you are located and the age of the vehicle the caliper rubber seals will eventually go, water will enter, the piston will start to rust, etc.

FWIW, I’ve replaced 3/4 calipers within the last four years. The shoes and caliper piston can also be stuck on the same wheel at the same time 🙈😂

My D3 V8 uses ~ 16 l/100 km over a distance of 80000 km. So in US terms 14.7 miles per US gallon. I use an iOS app, road trip, to store my expenses and fueling data.

 

My LR3s have all gotten around 12mpg with all city driving and 18/19 highway. Yours does sound a bit low.

You should never feel like 4wd is on during regular driving. It is fulltime awd but the transfer case and diffs should be open normally.
