My Disco TD5 is chipped, runs bigger tyres, roof rack with pole carrier, hilift, and an awning, drawers, bullbar, aircon on all the time, I get between 10.5/100k to 12/100k around town/hwy depending on how heavy my right boot is, and around 13/100k to 15/100k towing the camper, worst has been 17/100k towing.
Your figures are not bad but yes I would think that getting 10/100k is not unreasonable if your Disco is stock, even 9/100k.

What year model is yours Owen? I have a bog standard '02 auto, and it is getting similar mileage to what you are reporting. It has been dealer serviced from new, and they tell me it is normal, despite me asking them to check every time, as friends x2 with '01 models and friend with an '03 get much better economy than I do. Might be time to get it chipped. Tombie, are you lurking?
Ok, I have a bog stock TD5 Auto with a snorkle and a ARB bull bar and a pair of lightforce on the front. Apart from that no other modifications.
On a mixed driving week (most weeks) I get between 800-900km between fill ups (75-80L).
Best I have seen was just over 1000km on a trip out west.
One trick I have worked out with mine is if you brim the tank, it adds about 120km to my range as the filler neck takes about 10L.
I did get 3200km out of a tank once but 2500km of that was on the back of a tow truck LOL
Well, here are my figures since I have had the car.
It is totally stock, no egr mod, standard tyres, no snorkel, no chip, no roof rack - geez I am boring....:D
I should add, that most of my driving is in the city.
Nice spreadsheet
Sounds about average for most of us.
Might try and clean the MAF and see what happens.
I never fill to the top as I use a high flow bowser and I dont trust the auto shut off so my figures are short of a full tank.
Wow, mines a 2003 Auto and I've never achieved that. Even before slightly larger tyres and roof rack the most we would get out of a tank "commuting" was 670km and our commuting is not Brisbane commuting. Unfortunately we've never done a long highway trip without the larger tyres and roof rack :DQuote:

780K is the most I've gotten in my TD5, 84lts used, which is 10.7, that had a bit of low range work as well, that's as close as i've gotten to 800k.Quote:

Mines a manual td5.

After 10 months I have averaged low 10's to high 12's depending on what, where and how I have driven
Will fill up either tomorrrow or Fri for first time since Intercooler was added to the ECU upgrade.
Here's my spreadsheet Basil. Others use it if they wish.
When I bought my Stock D2 in Sydney the bloke filled it up at the Bowser and I drove 960 Km Highway travel home towards the Gold Coast. Empty vehicle with almost bald tyres. Works out to 9.4l/100kms That was the most I ever got from it.
Now with 32's, Lift and all the Goodies ... 750 Kms is about it for me. Works Out to be 12l/100kms .. probably a bit less when taking the Speedo error into account. Not too bad I suppose as its a lot heavier, higher, less aerodynamic and has a greater rolling resistance.
