300TDi Disco:
I put £38.00 on friday and i managed to get 103 miles for that  :'( . I am thinking a 300 tdi will do the trick. oh well i still love driving it. 

carracarra13:
I have to say Iv got an 1992 disco 200tdi and I recone we gettin 30+ at a steady 55-60mph

squaddie_fox:
on a run tothe lakes from birmngham (around 163 miles there and 163 back, plus two days greenlaning, we used around 22 gallons of fuel. in a lifted disco with larger tyres and the usual EGR tweaks etc.

so thats around 18-20 miles to the gallon, including 75 miles of laning at low speed in low box etc.

So, in other words, what i'm getting is about right then.......... a; i need to do, is work out how to adjust it so it doesn't smoke quite so much on boost, well, it smokes until the revs have caught up with the throttle position if you see what i mean......

yep! :lol:

not great is it. but im looking at other ways of getting it to breath easier, use the available power better rather than just wasting it. will let you know how i get on.

obviously when you dont need all that off road kit in the back, take it out, you WILL be surprised how much of a difference it makes to the fuel economy! it added between 3-5 MPG on the range rover diesel i used to have.
