Could very well be good driving habits. easy on the throttle alittle slower speeds, etc.
now are all the factors the same, motor size,tire size, transmissions, year of land rover. everything needs to be exactly the same to get a accurate answer.

Thats the point 60 is the sweet spot and I bet 55 is the best for towing, anything more and its like a drunkin sailor and just guzzles the diesel

No petrol engine can compete with a diesel for towing, the high torque at low revs on the diesel makes it more economical. They are not many petrol lorries around are there.thats good going! dad towed my 90 on a twin axle trailer behind his 90 and used £50 of petrol to travel 50 miles!

I towed a caravan the other day and it didn't affect economy.
I think it's down to the fact that the car is already brick shaped so the caravan doesn't really affect the aerodynamics so once the caravan is rolling it doesn't really need any more fuel than usual.
Wish I was still getting 25/28 like I used to before tweaking. Now I must only be getting 20. I keep meaning to work it out properly.
