Land Rover Discovery Sport - why is the economy so poor?
I bought a new Land Rover Discover Sport in January. I've covered 3300 miles, but struggle to get anywhere near the official 53mpg. In fact, my average ecnomy is closer to 35mpg.

The Real MPG average for the Ingenium engined Discovery Sport 2.0TD4 auto is 33.8. See: www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/land-rover/discovery-.../ Pay no attention to NEDC 'official' lab test figures. The only figures worth checking are the Real MPG figures.

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
