2011	4dr SUV turbocharged 150hp 2.2L I4 Diesel 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Diesel economy is my only disappointment. Advertised 7L/100km, gets 8.2L/100km best ever, usually ~9.1L/100km. That's: 40mpg IMP or 33mpg US advertised, actual is 34mpgIMP/29mpgUS best, 31mpgIMP/26mpgUS worst see full Land Rover Freelander review
2008	4dr SUV turbocharged 160hp 2.2L I4 Diesel 6-speed manual AWD	I ran this car for 86,000 and it returned an average of 38.94 (imp) MPG whihc is about 10 MPG better than the Discovery Td5 that it replaced - one of my objectives given the fuel price rises in UK in 2008 see full Land Rover Freelander review

2004	4dr SUV 174-horsepower 2.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Fuel thirsty which is understandable given its weight, the smallish underpowered engine (for this model) and the full time 4wd. see full Land Rover Freelander review
2002	4dr SUV 174-horsepower 2.5L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	It is like drink water. Not good on highway, worse in the city. see full Land Rover Freelander review

Mercedes-Benz GL Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Comment
2013	In the EPA's fuel economy tests the Mercedes-Benz GL350 BlueTEC rates 19 mpg city and 26 mpg highway. We observed low 20s in casual suburban driving (a few mpg lower with a heavy foot, a few mpg higher with a very light one) and 25.5 on our trip to Chicago and back (which included some heavy urban driving and 70-mph highways). These numbers don't seem so great, given that the GL350 burns diesel? Consider that the GL-Class is not only wide and tall but also very heavy, at nearly 5,500 pounds unloaded. The gas-powered GL450 is rated 14/19. Our family vehicle, a Ford Taurus X that weighs over 1,000 pounds less than the Mercedes, struggles to crack 22 on the highway. The Audi Q7 rates the same in city driving, and a couple mpg better on the highway. Since the GL350 is almost in another class size-wise, I'm calling this one a draw. Multiply this fuel economy by a 26.4-gallon tank, and the GL350 can go quite far between $100+ fill-ups. Is it really possible to drive the nearly 300 miles to Chicago--and then back--on one tank? Yes it is, with nearly a quarter-tank to spare. (Is it possible to do this without any of three kids needing to stop for a bathroom break? To our even greater surprise, yes to this as well. They were busy watching the $1,950 dual-screen entertainment system.) see full Mercedes-Benz GL review
