Improved MPG

[drzjoint]

Just a reminder ,my MPG was running between 13-14 for the last few months thought it might be the tire on the roof then thought it might be the rack, took it all off still the same so I replaced the air filter and I am back up to 17-18 today. just a reminder.

Do you run OEM tire size as well?

I've replaced the air filter a month ago and still have 13.8 mpg... I run 285/60/18 terra grapplers. I'm about to do the spark plug change in conjunction with the 60K service. We'll see what that brings.

Funny, I did the exact same thing (replaced the air filter) last week and I went from 14-15 mpg to 17-18 mpg this week!

I bought mine from Atlantic British. Here is the link http://www.roverparts.com/Parts/PHE000112.cfm Great price and they were great to work with.

I wonder if the K&N they show on their website would improve MPG ? Hummm....

I bought that same as RV, too cheap to buy the genuine..

AGREED! I am cheap! LOL!!!! My original was a OEM filter. I compared them both and the only thing I could tell that was different was the OEM said Land Rover on the end and the new one did not. Other then that the new filter fit's perfectly!

I did an OEM filter. K&N is not a good idea on the LR3. I would have went atlantic filter but I was driving by the dealer when I thought about it.
I run the Zeon 285-60s

wow I should have ordered I paid over 70 bucks at the dealer for the pollen and intake filters. they are under 50. Dumb me in a ram.

And you're geting 17-18/mile? That's awesome!

Maybe my highway driving isn't long enough. Maybe it's my 72 mph average?

I was going 55-60mph sport mode so I can control the shifting
