I find it interesting to read about the experience of others owning these 110 with different engine configurations.Originally Posted by jimr1
At the moment I still have 3 x 110s An old v8 county , with a 4.4 lt on gas , that does about 700ks. " that's petrol and gas " I brought a disco 2 td5 , now that was good on fuel , but I never liked driving It as much as the County . So that went , and I brought a td5 extreme , Now that is a lot better than the v8 on fuel , but we all know that . So I had what I wanted in a 110 , but with the td5 engine . I've been very happy with the Extreme and love It . Times move on . So now I have a 2.2 Puma . I don't think It is as good on fuel as the Extreme is on fuel , and that surprises me because It is only 4 cylinder , and a bit less capacity . They are both 90kw so would expect about the same economy . In saying that I do like my new 110 !!..
For me - this is my 1st 4cyl turbo diesel and 1st 4WD - when buying the 2.2l 110 I never really thought much about fuel consumption - I knew it was going to be better.
I came from a 5.7 V8 auto Holden X8 with a similar sized tank - I was lucky to get 20l / 100k when towing my van - and around 14-15l / 100k around town depending on the fuel.
So funny to be driving the 110 wiith a new motor - and driving it with purpose. I have done close to 1000k so can't comment on milage - nice to see over 500k before I thought about filling up - and only then because it was convenient!
It will be interesting to see what happens when I get the van hooked up - around 1.8t fully loaded - by all accounts it won't add too much to the consumption.

Again, not a 110, but I've just done 640km til the fuel light in the 130.
Thats mostly just driving to and from work here in Darwin, 60km round trip each day, unloaded, aircon about half the time, mostly 80km/h.
Works out to 10.5L/100km
It seems to be improving with a few k's on it, just ticked over 11,000km.

Hi Tom. I think from a fuel economy point of view, you live in the the ideal world. Actually, or probably, from many points of view.
Here in inner City Sydney, Its stop, start, speed hump, turn, repeat. My warning light comes on at 550-70 most of the time. Last fill up I did get to 650 but that included a trip out to Penrith and back and every second trip to work was on the Easter Distributer. Saves time, cost $$$$$.
Cheers, Billy.

Keeping it simple is complicated.
With a 110 litre tank, my 110 does about 450kms before the needle starts to drop below full, as the sender must still be in the original position. I'm not exactly sure of the precise total range but its certainly over 1000 kms. Averaging about 10.5 l/100kms, but recently with two fat kayaks on the roof racks that rose to 13 l/100 kms. Keeping it just above 2000 revs certainly helps the fuel economy.

Filled my 2015 2.2 110 for the first time yesterday.
I hit 600km when the fuel light came on, and I did about another 20 to 30 before filling up. Filled the tank to the first "click".
Worked out at almost exactly 11L/100km, and I haven't been babying her around.
Hey that's good...is that for kms around town? Or long highway run?
I'm lucky if I get 500km per tank. 2014 2.2 @ 30,000k. Hmm

fuel light ?
you have a fuel light ? luxury.
My fuel gauge is typical of defenders I think, no movement for about the first 1/4 of a tank. By the time I get to half a tank I probably have only a 1/3 tank left, the bottom half of the tank empties quickly. I don't worry too much, when it gets into the red, I change to the aux tank, (42 l) and start looking fora fuel station. My aux tank has the same characteristic, because it has a land rover level sender fitted. The change over lever operates two x 2 way valves and a micro switch that changes over the gauge sender as well.

And how many k's do you get to a tank simmo? My tdi (320,000km) gets around 600-650. Which is a lot better than my puma. Again hmm.you have a fuel light ? luxury.

...incidently, gauges in both vehicles do exactly as you describe.

I filled up for the second time on Sunday with around 1100km on the speedo - did 560km for 65l which would be around 11.7l / 100k. This is semi rural / town driving - and mostly doing between 2k - 3.5k RPM i.e. not taking it easy and making sure I am using the engine. Should mention that the 110 has nothing added apart from a Heyman Reece 3.5t Towbar - so pretty much standard.

in the highly streamlined trayback the fuel consumption generally is with less than half a tonne on the back
95km/hr indicated 9.5l per 100km
100km/hr indicated 10 l per 100km
my old hz ute had significantly better fuel economy with the torneau cover on compared with the back open
long range cruise in not much traffic at 90 km hr on multi lane highway seems to sit just below turbocharger whine at 9 litres 100km and seems to be a comfortable speed.
There is a write up on a truck freight company that found sitting on 90 km/hr indicated saved lots in fuel and didn't increase the travel time by much. Will try to find it
