fuel economy.

OK all you 110 diesel drivers out there. What fuel usage /100k do you get out of your pride and joy?

[Blknight.aus]

between 9.5 and 11.5 l/100km depending on mood/load and traffic conditions..

[jx2mad]

Thats what I get too and it is far better than my x 2000 td5 disco!!!

From 10.5 to 12l/100km, the variation mainly due to inaccurate filling to full apparently, but towards the higher figure when travelling consistently over 120kph or towing a heavy trailer at high speed. Figures from accurate fuel records over 340,000km.

about 9.3lt to 10lt outta 100km

I was getting 11-12/100 till recently, then replaced a dribbling fuel pump and got 10.5/100 on a 2000km trip. I'll be due to refill again next week, so I'll get a better idea of town driving economy.

What sort of consumption is possible from the 3.9 Isuzu diesel motor?

See my post above. Driven very carefully and slowly, with everything in your favour you might make just under ten, but I believe all the figures I have as low as this are due to not filling the tanks right up because of slope on the forecourt etc.

10 l/100k is achievable from the 3.9 but the book says expect 15l/100k.

The armys basic planning range for all 4x4 varients, lightly laden (1/2 max cargo weight including driver/pax) and not towing trailers is

road 500km (black top)
off road 300km (formed tracks/arduous topography)
cross country 200km (roads, we dont need no stinking roads)

from 65l of useable dieso

add 100/60/30 km for the 20l jerry.

This also assumes responsably operated vehicles. Ive personally had one of them get less than 1l/1km and no it wasnt broken, it was working, very, very very hard.

Over the last 100,000km I've got 11.2/100 pretty consistantly. As the defender hasn't been used as the daily driver for most of its life (has been for the last 3 months though) most of this travelling has been trips and hence fully loaded.

I know how you feel :'(

I have a 2000 TD5 Disco and get about 9.7L/100km

Highway driving at 110km/ph is actually not as flash, around 90km/h appears to be the most economical. (standard tyres fitted)

[George130]

I was getting a consistant 11.4l/100km. Recently blown out to up to 12.6l

[Captain_Rightfoot]

10.5 - 12 is a pretty good guide for our td5 fender. When used off road for light conditions about 13 up to 20 in the Simpson. :)

See my post "Went for a drive" 28/3/07 in General Chat. Unladen on highway, just me and an overnight bag is usually around 9.7l./100k or 29.4mpg. Worst economy since purchase was 10.98l./100k or 25.9mpg, heavily laden with lots of climbing. Mixed use around town with some short on-highway running is usually in the region of 27-28mpg.

[rangieman]

my Tdi defender is normaly 10.5 to 12 depending on conditions and right foot:cool:
