200tdi mpg

[DISCOVERY-CPL]

We have a 200tdi Auto and we got about 138 Miles from 5 galons of diesel and we work that to be about 27.6 MPG , Now we had ST Coopers on 235/70/16s,, with 35psi All round do you think the coopers will give us less MPG as they are 60/40 TYRES & we are running a K&N filter ,, thanks

I think that 27.5mpg from a TDi200, albeit auto, is appalling !!

We used to get 36mpg daily, over 40 on a run with a best ever of 47mpg from our manual box 200.

I would say that before you spend too much more, you vehicle could do with some attention.

Off-road tyres won't help with mpg either.

So what is MPG for the 200tdi Auto , how could you help MPG ?? Thanks ..

Be aware that on TDi200 there were two tank sizes, early ones had 81ltrs and later ones had 89 ltrs.

Blimey. That's impressive. I can't get 47mpg out of my Ford Fiesta!! I'd say that's incredible fuel economy. ;)

27.5mpg sounds fair enough to me for a 16 year old vehicle that weighs 2.5 tonnes, especially as it's an auto with aggressive tyres.

this what we used today from full tank 141 miles

I use to get 350 Miles from a full tank from my 200 TDI. Average of 25MPG although it did have 350,000 on the clock.

You must drive real gentle to get over 40mpg from a 4 speed auto Discovery, don't know of anyone else ever getting near that.

I'd have said anywhere from 25-32mpg would be pretty good going and about what most should expect.

i was told that 35psi is to hi and 32 psi would be better

Reading is not one of your stronger points is it? I did say from our manual gearbox TDi 200.

Over 35mpg in any Tdi Disco no matter the gearbox must be close on a miracle?

How did you get 47mpg? (or how did you work it out ;):p ) :)

We used to get 36 mpg day in day out. That was a mixture of work BUT very little heavy town work. Did include towing anything between 500 to 2000kgs.

40mpg on a run every time, no sweat. Always kept to 60mph or below (national speed limit here is 56mph on A roads) and kept her very well maintained - new full set of filters and engine oil every 5000mls. Used fully synth oils in the transmission ie gear & rans boxes, plus axles. EVO1 & 2.

Best ever of 47mpg, gentle driving, long distance of about 400kms if I remeber correctly

Always do all fuel consumption calcs the same way: fill til I can see the level of liquid, do the miles and fill again to the same level.

I always drive anticipating the conditions ahead so I hardly need to use my brakes. Others make get there first - so what !!
