Im rather impressed by my landy and myself.

My 90 is currently consistantly doing 26.5mpg based off an average taken over 4 tanks fills of the exact same volume. Mostly around town driving and off roading!

Considering LRs offical mpg is 23.3 combined for a standard 90 im happy.

Running with
Cooper Discoverer STTs
EGR Blank
DeCat & Straight Thru

Half Cage
Winch Bumper
Steering Guard
Rock Sliders
Snorkel

All pretty heavy items to add on!

It does show all those little mods do improve MPG quite considerably, I expect without all the heavy off road mods it would push 30 - 32 mpg easy.

Whats everyon elese getting?

Josh.

Josh I remember your 90 from when I picked up your old steering wheel and it is carrying a few high taste extras and I know you like to rev it so the mechanicals must be in good health.
Currently getting 31 mpg according to Fuelly.com on my 300 TDI 110 CSW so well pleased too.

The GTD will be the 2.0L engine. It'll be good for 70mpg if you are very economical, select ECO mode, use the cruise control and stick to 60mph! Sounds silly but on a long run with the stereo going and on cruise control it makes a big difference. If you are buying new the blue motion is now included. I absolutely hate the electronic hand brake and the STUPID radar which is like a psychotic driving instructor in the passenger seat. I use the defender all the time unless I am on a long journey!

I'm getting around the 30-33 mark in mine or anything between 20-27 when driving it harder or when towing.

110dcpu. winch, roof-rack, xmoor hood, snorkel, full set of guards underneath. Weighs a little over 2.3tonne
All the EGR, de-cat, centerbox stuff with VNT, intercooler and re-map. 175K on the clock
Have 33x12.5 muds too but the Disco box is the main reason for being so good I think as it's raising the gearing by about 15% and I do a fair bit of motorway and A-road driving around 50-70mph
