That probably is close to real life....

Unless you want to travel under the speed limit,country run, on the black top,unloaded,no accessories.

Bottom line is it needs a larger tank,particularly if towing or doing remote area travel.

Hopefully the after market guys will be onto it.

I believe it is supposed to be minimum RON94

If it will run on e10 rubbish I’m sure it will run on Opal but with reduced performance (opal = RON91) and likely slightly more fuel burn

That was in a RRS, completely different vehicle

Based on this @ 9.9L it gives 900km blacktop range stock. Which is plenty for road any day of the week.

Maybe 1/3 off that for off-road touring or 600km range.

40L in a poly and your sorted and only 45kgs added.

Giving you approx 985km offroad range without a long range tank.

I think p300 is in US spec def, not AU

European standard is 95RON.
Australian standard was set at 91 as our oil refineries at the time werer optimised for 91.
I sat next to the bloke who set the standard once on a flight from Thailand to OZ.

Yup - it is a different vehicle - but JLR claim the RRS with P400 economy at 8L/100
Real world testing it gets 14.5l/100

Does that mean in the defender claiming 9.9 that real world will be 16-17!!!!!!

BR once you have your new jalopy.
