    Yes me making a statement after selecting such mods is not a fair comparison however compare it to another modern diesel found on the road under the same conditions the landy does not compare evenly for the simple fact of mass vs capacity which is entirely an engineering downfall...
    285's on neg25x8" rims sits how I like it looks wise however I have no need for wide tyres and if I could get for example 235's to sit where the 285's outside wall sits I'd be happy...285's were my mistake as I didn't expect to be doing as many k's as I have been doing which the old scale of capability vs reliability vs practicality comes in I obviously chose capability (to a certain degree) which impacted practicality...knowing a bit more now about the tyre choices I should have stuck with 235's like I was planning to do

    Don't worry too much. Mine was the same near new. You will notice improved economy and smoother engine when you've covered more km's.

    This is my 2013 110 after 7500km, includes city driving, open road and lots of low range work. I think 11.5 will be the norm for me.

    Our 2013 90 started out at 12.5/100km from new but steadily came down to 10.5/100km with about 7k on the clock.

    Then we got a bull bar + roof rack and headed off touring fully loaded and were seeing 14+/100km! Back home again and it seems to be averaging just under 11/100km (with 18k on the clock) which is a little high for my liking but not bad I suppose considering our bar, rack and MTRs, folks around here put me wise to the effect of drag & weight too

    Two tips I've learnt with ours:
    1) The fuel gauge is pretty inaccurate on the pessimistic side - always check the number of litres you stick in. An "empty" tank can still be 20+% full
    2) When filling you can usually fit quite a lot more after the initial click off, as much as 10+%

    Measured my fuel consumption on my new 110 on return trip to Melbourne from Wagga this weekend. 11.8l/100. Sat on 95-100 the entire way. Bit of head wind from Benalla onwards. Aircon was on entire trip. 2 adults, one baby and all the stuff that comes with one. Fridge and other basic weekend supplies.

    Happy with that.

    I nearly always get 550km out of a tank regardless of the type of driving.

    17000km's on the clock.

    Cheers.

    Defender 2013 / 110 HD

    At the moment the most exact measurement I have is from daily use in peak traffic both ways - from and to work, and also weekend trips at this point not exceeding 200 km. Odometer is about 7700 km and my current average consumption fluctuates around 10 litres per 100 km - driving daily about 105 km. More precisely, (10 +/- 0.3) litres - depending on various trafic factors and weather conditions.
    My Defender is btw HD (that is GVM 3500 kg!). I have already installed some add-ons on it. The main trip varies in speed limits between 40 and 90 km/h, however the average value is about 60 km/h. I am happy with that. Before it was about 0.5 of litre more, but since I installed EGT and drive by temperature, it improved nicely. We're going to Flinders soon to get some serious testing, so that will be interesting to see.
