Must've found a 900 mile long hill to drive down.
-
must do a lot of downhill, wind behind driving to get that
oh , that was what you put as a reply , too slow
or his trip computer is telling fibs
my trip computer tells the truth , disappointingly 23 ish MPG ;D

If we ignore the trip and the fuel gauge, he could have just coasted downhill in neutral for a mile or so, I suppose.

Wifey has the 1.6, 135bhp astra k and can easily get 60mpg on a run.
-
Mine tells me fairly regularly that I've done anywhere between 28-32 MPG in a 2.6 V6..

That uses more fuel than keeping it in gear

So the Velar this week did 52mpg on the commute (that's for the full door to door trip, about 70miles).
I even did a 20 mile trip up the Fosse in a 405 (BIG Range Rover - SV special with full exec pack in the back, so weighs the same as the moon) petrol PHEV (although the PHEV battery was flat), driving like an old lady, 31mpg ???
-
My 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV8 does exactly as described in the manual 25mpg in town 31mpg on a run , towing the 26ft twin axle caravan down to 22mpg all acceptable to me. The best mpg I had from a diesel was my Mazda6 ranged between 46-62mpg.
-
Well, the dirty, smelly Pussy does around 32mpg. Trip computer always reckons around 38mpg though

Yep.....trip computer on my Indian is about 15% optimistic..........and it's only showing 21.4MPG. :-\

My Volvo goes into N going down hill on its own, and on the flat, most modern trucks do Eco-roll

That has never made sense to me... It's like switching OFF a 500+ bhp brake ::)

Yep, most engines just cut fuel on the overrun these days so it's a bit daft to take them out of gear.

With cruise set, the vebs keeps it in check, no cruise on no Eco-roll, you can st the over run to 110k, set mine at 100k.
Full auto braking at 40tonnes

How does the braking distance compare with a car, BG?
Surely weight must play a part.

We don't have any with this full auto emergency braking system, the on board ecu work it all out, that video used a full loaded outfit, so it weighs in at 40tonnes, looking at when it starts to brake, I'd be crapping myself, same as when using acc, you do get bloody close before it slows up.
Allegedly were getting some new units around Christmas so should have acc, and Anti-collision braking,, don't think I'm going to see if they work... :o

Let us know if you soil yourself when it kicks in :D

The EBS/ABS anti roll stops all that, as does TC, they all work together,, the days of having the unit going one way trailer going the other as you exit roundabouts, have gone, :'(
The damp roundabouts to gateways is easily stopped, don't press the loud pedal to much, O and go slower, the other reason that happens is the trailer is pushing the unit, causing the unit to understeer, and not getting traction, very common on 6x2.. too fast

The DAF system is dangerously stupid... Applies full braking with lots of angry boings if the camera sees something that it thinks you're about to hit... Like a gate post or bollard as you swing round it with any vigour...
Really annoying first time it happens, but most entertaining if you've passengers who aren't expecting it ;D

Ar yes the DAF system, haven't heard one good thing about that yet, it can be deactivated, so I'm told by pressing the switch for 20secs on initial start up. Same as eco mode needs switching off too.

I shall try that next time i have the misfortune to drive one...

Some are dealer programed, so the system cannot be switched off, also if it does turn off, the Bing bongs will still sound
