fuel range
Filled my car up three times now and each time I have driven off the forecourt, the range has been 391 miles. Showing 26 to the gallon on the trip which is great as I have been towing as well, but on the occasions I have been on a longer journey the distance to empty only goes down. On the D3 if you were cruising it would go up. Has anyone else noticed this?
Loving the D4 though

Last fill on my Mini Cooper D showed 850klm to empty thats around town driving. I just dont look at the D4 distance to empty very much. What I do know is it is better on Fuel than my old 4.0l petrol Ford Territory.Discovery 4 SE Long range fuel tank Kaymar Rear Bar.

Yep, used to kid myself on the D3 that I could 600 to a tank (indicated!) if I were to drive very carefully, but nothing over 400 happening on the D4 - yet the brim to brim measured mpg is not hugely different. Go figure...
