    Fuel economy from a TD5 auto Discovery?

    Has anyone any idea what is reasonable to expect in this regard?
    Had a '94 Defender(manual) diesel and got around 9/10 ltrs/100 if I drove at 95-100kms. When towing a very small camper at 90kms used to go up to about 11-11.5lts/100.

    I've had figures as low as 9.4, lightly loaded and cruising around 110k all the way from melb to brisbane. Average around town about 11-12. Just had the ecu flashed to give a bit of extra grunt towing my camper (about 1100kg) so cant say the new figures yet but around town seems to be little changed.

    I agree. I get anywhere from mid 9's to 11 or 12 from my TD5 auto. It makes very little differance how I drive it, it remains consistant.
