I'm thinking of buying another Defender, having been without one for three years now. If I do, it will be used for towing a caravan (an Eriba, which is comparatively low and light,and more streamlined than most). It's something I haven't done before so I've no idea how it would effect fuel consumption. Driving carefully on motorways I used to get 30/32mpg with my 300tdi. I know it's a question which is impossible to answer with any accuracy, but how much might this drop by? Would I be right in assuming that a Defender's fuel consumption, would be less effected by towing, than a Ford Focus for example?
