    Arghhh not another one NO!!

    I caught my mother red handed today doing something very naughty... she "secretly" went out and looked at a 2001 Discovery, in V8 automatic. I'm quite scared as she is NEVER this decisive and we are frightfully close to having another Disco leaking on the driveway and using ridiculous amounts of fuel.

    She also spoke to a crowd about instruction/training in towing... I can see where this is going

    What are others getting economy wise when towing their camper/caravan?

    If I was towing, I'd definitely go diesel.

    I've seen 30 litres/100km when towing with the Rangie.

    Hi
    I would like to tell how far I got on my new long range tank on my 07 Discovery diesel, but when I went to fill it the fuel went all over the ground.
    HHHMMMMM it would be a good idea to connect the filler neck to the tank.
    Back to the garage I go.
    cheers

    My D2 V8 Auto gives between 18 and 19 litres/100km towing a Jayco Penguin Outback camper trailer. On a recent trip from Canberra around SA and Victoria, with a mix of freeway, country roads, and some city driving it averaged 18.46. Much of the trip was 110 kph. It averages 16 litres/100km without the trailer, so a small van makes little difference. Can't speak for a large van.
    Cheers.
