You are gentle with it, I can't get such a good consumption. As I said above I was averaging between 11 and 12 but I always take it to >3000rpm most of the time while changing gears. I now have just over 10000km and my overall average has been 12.23.

High revs eat fuel. If you can run it in the 1500-2500rpm range you'll do better.
But I realise that often you can't.

How many dogs make 150kg?:eek: Is your ODO corrected for the 285/75R16's?

I feel as though on an average the 2.2 is worse on fuel than the 2.4.
With my 2.4 I never ran out of fuel even after driving on the fuel light for a long time whereas in the 2.2 the fuel light comes on and then the a short time later I find myself completely out of fuel and sitting on side of the road :mad: this however is not an accurate measurement of course...on a recent trip out west I was getting up around 17.5L per 100km that's with a box trailer with 350kg in it,3people and 4 dogs but I do have 285/75/16's so I am considering going to 265/75/16's next see what happens...it often makes me wonder why I didn't buy a v8 duel cab toyota for a smoother ride and more power for I'd say around the same fuel economy.

STD 2014 Defender 90 with 235/85R16 Goodyear Wrangler MTR Tyres
As is, my fuel economy is -> 8.2Km/L

I can back this up with my results from the weekend.
My 2012 90 with bull bar and ARB roof rack, running the Goodyear wranglers towed myself and 3 other adults Tamworth to Newcastle.
Filled with 51.67 litres
Travelled 428.5km on the trip meter of the ODO
=8.3l/100km

I didn't believe it to begin with, but getting a good run. Mainly in 6th gear, down to 5th for the murrurundi range.

Going to do a few back to back tests to get more data. to get some repeatability.

I think your calculator is wrong, 428.5 kms using 51.67 litres is actually 12.05 litres per 100 kms.

I run a '12 90 with wranglers as well, full length Hannibal rack rear decked out with storage, dynamat through entire rear area and roof and also a fridge in the back and a 2nd battery, so its carrying a bit of weight. I consistently run 11.2 l/100km around town (very hilly and only short runs). On the Hwy gets down to about 10.5 l/100.

The calculator was me.
So in this case, the problem exists between the keyboard and the mouse.
~12L/100km sounds more like it!
