There are plenty threads on this so maybe do a quick search. Here is a screen shot of my last few full ups. I run a 110 with cage and roof rack. 265 bf all terrains. I run the tyre pressures quite high and my economy has improved by a couple of mpg round town. The 30mpg was sat at 50mph on the autoroute in France for a couple of full tanks...really boring but proves 30mpg is possible out of a fully loaded 110 with rack

I normally get around 300 - 320 miles per tank, varied trips from a couple of miles to maybe 30 or so, doesn't seem to make a lot of difference.
My 90 has a stage 2 remap from Alive along with EGR delete and Decat so it has a fairly nippy performance which I like to make use of at every opportunity  |

26-28 mpg around town from my mildly remapped 110TD5 SW.
Fairly consistent over the last 50,000 miles. Driving around Spain last year observing their low speed limits we achieved 32mpg. |

25.4mpg over 27,000 miles. Mixture of driving but it's a 110 with a roof rack and a stage 2 map. Since fitting mud tyres I seem to be getting 23-24mpg. 2005 Td5 110 Hardtop

The official urban MPG figures are around 24mpg depending on version so anybody who is getting over 25mpg l would say you are doing fine.

I usually fill up around 310ish miles with a fair bit more left. Usually works around 30mpg when I do the conversion and I am sad enough to check on every fill up lol! I do a fair few short runs too.
Was up to 32/33mpg on longer runs in the summer. Standard 2004 90 county station wagon. Mike |

You are doing well, l never managed that MPG with either of our 90 TD5
One bought new. But it is possible, as we found when touring Spain where l achieved 32mpg in our 110 TD5 SW You just need to drive slower! For instance in Spain there’s a 30mph limit EXITING roundabouts so effectively stopping you from accelerating away. And there’s almost no traffic in rural Spain, so you don’t have to keep slowing down/speeding up or overtaking etc. |

I am probably one of the more leisurely paced people on the roads, another reason I like Defender's, don't feel the need to rush!

110 Hardtop Td5 15p with roofrack, hardshell tent and snorkel, consistently checked from 100k to 145k km:
best: 31,2 mpg worst: 20,0 mpg average: 26,6 mpg I use the excellent Fuelio app on my Android phone to keep track. Graph in liter/100km: Click image to enlarge The two spikes are a very leadfooted drive in the Iceland inlands, and a fuel return pipe that got loose after being badly connected during a FPR repair.

From my experience a TD5 does around 24 - 26 MPG and a 300TDI does around 28 - 30 MPG.

Sounds about right.
After my TD5 110 SW was remapped the MPG improved by about 2mpg so l now get 26-28mpg |

26 MPG... and thats on Tesco crap with half a bottle of redex per fill (fill from 25% to 75%)
20P a mile... In fact its strange... if i measure how many miles i did on my previous tank its 26, but if i do how many litres it is to fill up then its 34... Am i supposed to take the mean of the readings and then work in my milage? Obviously my MPG will only get more accurate as i collect and collate more data.
