Daveo26 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 What are you lads getting from your shooting wagons? I was getting 32 mpg on a run with road tyres(worn out) from my terrano 2. Just put a set of cooper discover at3 on so I'm guessing ill lose a bit now. Real world figures please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 30 ish out of my 05 l200 drops a bit over winter when the off roading gets a little more serious. One thing worth checking when you use a car on stubble is whether the cat has a decent shield as well as the exhaust. We did have a Subaru pickup that got parked while the driver talked to the combine driver, turned round and it was on fire and the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

byjovecarruthers Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Defender 90 TD5 (daily use) on 265/35/r17 goodyear A/T tyres gives 22mpg average according to iphone fuel consumption app. Although she is currently spending 12 months SORN as I'm not there to drive her. The Memsahib is running her for 20 mins once a week so I'm hoping the only issue will be seized brakes I don't drive as steady as I should.
