    I average 13ltr per/100k towing a 1300kg campertrailer on trips, and around 11 to12 per/100k around town.

    I have a heavy foot

    A V8 doesn't have fuel economy just fuel usage :wink:

    I get 9.5 to 10.5 in the Defender - and it's somewhat brick-shaped in comparison to a Disco.

    We have just finished a trip around the country (+50,000) and we were averaging mid13l/100km (pulling a trailer and fully loaded). Our worst was 14l/100km in sand. This is with a remapped ECU, so you could probably get better figures with a standard TD5.

    How many Kms are you doing a year? Don't forget the price of diesel over ULP when doing your calcs.

    I'm averaging 11.4 with mine. thats over 45,000km. Lots of low range work with plenty of load peddle will push it up to around 13l/100km

    Hi,
    Inc should make a sticky thread...V8 growl vs the oil burners clank.
    I reckon at least once a month this discussion comes up and I LUV it!
    If we make it sticky we could be entertained for ages.
    It could be named after U2's best selling album..
