Sounds like you've got a rather pessimistic fuel gauge considering the petrol holds 100 litres and the diesel 90 - refills cost me around £100 from the orange light.

Average 215-230 or so, in the L322...about 15mpg

This is why I always quote in pence/mile when people ask me how much it costs to run the L322.....about 20-22p a mile....which is a tad less than I was doing in my 2.5DSE (25-26p a mile), and is the same as the Defender (200Tdi) that rocks on to about 25-26mpg on diesel!

Guys, It's not about miles per gallon...

That's because when the gauge says its full you can get another 3 gallon in there! Makes you think your doing really well if you've filled it to the cut of when you've done 60 miles and its barely moved of the stop, do the next 20 and its like a fat chap lent on the needle!
