My TD5 is a csw, about the same spec as yours apart from the lift, same tyres.
I reckon I am getting about 27 mpg - 58K on the clock. Bob 2015 Jaguar XE240 R Sport - goes like ....... !! 2013 Defender 90 CSW - sold 2009 Defender 110 Double Cab - sold 2001 TD5 90 CSW - offroad project - sold to a forum member 2011 Porsche Boxster - for the sunny days ! |

Cheers for replies
I'm driving really steady no thrashing and no reving through gears just steady away,might try thrashing it and see what the difference is. My 90 has 128,500 on clock now and I've owned it for over 4years also I've removed egr |

tyre size correct for speedo? not towing? seems very low to me my 105k td5 90 was doing 28-32mpg but it did have a remap. at 55mph i would of thought high 20s from my experience. Cheers James 110 2012 XS Utility 130 2011 M57 bespoke Camper 90 2010 Hardtop 90 M57 1988 Hardtop |

Check tyre pressures also. Low pressures bring MPG down. ⭐️⭐️God Bless the USA 🇬🇧🇺🇸 ⭐️⭐️

See below only three tankful's so far. GGAT2's. K+N air filter, 154,000 mls, most A+B roads <60mph, economically driven ( I think )

I got 28 psi in the fronts and 40 psi in the rear. I'm trying different fuel brand fill ups to see which gives the best MPG, Fuelly records this nicely. My mileage is pretty routine, commute 20 miles a day, town and country driving at weekends.
