Howsit,
Ive been looking at some early 90's model LAND ROVER DISCOVERYS lately,im pretty keen on gettin one just wondering if anyone could give me a rough idea of the fuel consumption id expect from either the 3.6 or 3.9 V8 as a daily driver. :roll:

Cheers

My brother had one for a while, and when I borrowed it for a week the fuel consumption was pretty horrific.

It was about 20L/100km, or 5km/l. Thats about 50% round town and 50% motorway.

I'm running a 3.5 V8 model and the fuel consumption is terrible. Awesome offroad but I would't even think about using it for a daily driver. :roll:

22L/100km in my chev Cruiser for economic round town and highway driving.... they must be pretty thirsty those rover v8's?

Get about half that when Mrs Hussains running around in it :oops:
