I know. But if the guy said 9/100, I say 8/100; he says 7/100 I say 6/100; he says 5/100 I say bugger it mine does -1/100 and it's farts smell like roses

It's better

I get 11.5-12.5 light loads on 255/85 bighorns 2002td5 110 wagon doing a lot of short runs around town/ work n home, can get under 11 on highway runs long distance.

Usually around 13 per 100kms. Does not change towing or not. Never got close to the 10s quoted by some.
Nissan 10s, bull****, more like 17-18.

My wifes defender 130 TD5 gives a constant 10lts/100km all the time, around town and in the bush. For us oldies that about 28miles/gallon.

I'm getting ~11.5/100 out of mine but it's a Tdi300.

However at work I drive a Hilux that returns roughly the same, mate has one of the new Navaras for work and comments that he can't get anywhere near the stated 10/100 from it (2.5litre model)
