2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SW Keswick Green

Fuel economy

My Puma got 3k on the clock....thus brand new. Still waiting for my chance to get into the bush so comuting in traffic to work and back at the moment. Fuel consumption is sitting at 13 l/100km. Is this normal for city driving? I expected it to be lower?

Marius, up until my last tank of fuel (at just over 11000kms) I have been averaging 10.4ltrs pr 100kms. I only went as high as 13ltrs per 100kms when I was towing my Xplorer caravan.

My last tank of fuel I achieved 9.8ltrs per 100kms. Mostly driving in traffic around Johannesburg and I have roof rack etc.

Your consumption will get better. If not have it checked by the dealer.

2010 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 SW Alpine White

Mine is sitting at 10-11l/100km, city:open in 50-50 mix. Has been like this since Day 1, now it has 15600km on the clock, engine is loosening up nicely. Worst was 14 when fully laden driving into a gale-force thunderstorm.

I would suggest using some diesel injector cleaner every 2000km or so to keep your injectors clean, and if you suspect poor quality diesel.

I also change the oil every 10,000km and after every long trip into dusty conditions. --

2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 HCPU Keswick Green

59 plate DCPU 110 16k miles no tune MTR tyres and last two tanks have given 27 & 28mpg rural driving with lots of hills. I was quite surprised as I expected a lot less, we plan to look at the car with Pete BAS (when I go through to work on my 90) and see why at the moment

its running smoothly and giving good MPG Original Member Pie n Pea Club.

2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Tonga Green

Did some calculations in my head on a longish trip at the weekend - very low 20s at best. For a 122bhp vehicle. And top rate VED.

Did someone say the words "modern" in the same sentence as "efficient?" Thought not. Defender 110XS SW gone... now VW California 180 4 Motion.

my opinion is that 13lt/100km is extreme !!!
