Probably been covered a million times. But filled my 90 td5 with derv and got 222 miles i think that is p.ss poor considering my disco gets far more whats the average combining town and motorway driving.

I just did a round trip to Penrith today on the M6 a total of 202 miles in my latest adition, a 1997 110 CSW and filled it up on return. I got 34mpg... outstanding! Less than 6 gallon. It should be noted I am an old fart and kept to an average of around 60mph and drove with a gentle right foot. If you rag it you will get fook all mpg.... I get a tad more out of my 1994 90. No computers, just listen to the engine and you can feel the cruising speed the engine likes...... may the force be with you

During the snow in January, I'd just filled up with jungle juice when I had a call to a woman with kids in the car who had lost control of her vehicle on ice and was now wedged across the road on a steep hill and around a blind bend. She refused to get out of her vehicle and take her kids to the safety and warmth of the pub 1/4 mile away. She was 35 miles away from my location. I had my foot flat to the floor the whole way there. It's the only time I've ever driven my landy with my foot glued to the floor. I thought I'd see how bad the fuel economy was so after I'd sorted her out I nipped into the garage just around the corner. I put just under 6 litres of fuel in and had travelled 40 miles. by my rekoning that's 30mpg. The stupid thing is that due to my tyres and the kit I carry in the back of my landy I usually only get an average of 25mpg. Sometimes a lead foot can be better.

I think the guy who started this thread is getting about 20mpg 60 litre tank about 12 gallon? 222 miles out of a tank? Something aint right. I averaged 27 town driving (unladen 90) so our figures seem about right and yours is a td5.... he has a problem or his adding up aint right
