F-Pace fuel consumption

[Marineng]

Good morning everyone.

I hope everyone is staying warm during this latest cold snap - taking advantage of the 'Remote Start' to get the heat into the car before starting your journey.

I presume that the members with the All electric or HYbrid versions will be able to keep the cars plugged into the mains electriclty supply which will be used as the energy source to heat the car.

I am interested to hear from any members about the kind of fuel consuption that they are achieving, especially with their F-Pace. Are members achieving the consumption figuars that were expected before purchase?

Kind regards

We've averaged 35 mpg over 20K miles in our 2017 2.0D 180PS AWD. That is measured from fuel receipts, NOT taken from the car's trip computer which always reads 2 mpg too high. We did once manage to get 43 mpg out of a tank but that was following a long journey on the motorway. Not great.

Hi. I have a 2016 3L Supercharged S. I mix the fuel between E5 and 10 and am averaging 26/27mpg. I don’t do a lot of motorway driving so mostly around locally.

Thank you for the information - interesting.

Kind regards

Sorry I'm a bit late to this discussion.
I consistently get better than expected results. Over the last two years I've been getting 42+ which I think is pretty good for any car with 240PS and AWD. That's running on Pirelli All-Season Scorpions at 34psi using ordinary diesel.
For the last few weeks I've been trialling the good stuff. A couple of days ago I was getting 51mpg on my commute to and from work, a round trip of over 80 miles. Last night it was 53mpg when I stopped to fill up. That's compared to a usual MPG of around 44 so it appears the good stuff (I've used the Shell, Esso and BP variants) does work. My experience is not scientific enough to draw a robust conclusion, but it's promising. But even with 10% better MPG it doesn't outweigh the astronomical extra cost; 17p at my local Shell and 20p at BP per litre.
So yes, surprisingly the F-Pace is very good on fuel. I've tried the 'Economy' mode and other than damping the accelerator response, it doesn't appear to have any effect on MPG. So I stick with 'Normal' mode.
