Just got back from a camping / hunting trip over New Years with my Disco 3 V8.
Over 4 days we drove over 500ks including some open road 100kph and some low range river crossing / bush bashing.
Disco was loaded with 4 people, 2 dogs and cargo compartment full to the roof with gear. Plus roof rack loaded and RAI fitted.
Disco returned 13.6 L / per 100k which is 20.77mpg.
That's running on 98 octane super unleaded.

That’s really not too bad at all! How much is 98 octane there?2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: FL2 as a second car
2021 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200
2022 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!

It really varies from station to station. As a rough guide 91 (standard) is about $2.07 NZD a L.
95 is really common at about 8 to 10 c more and 98 is only available from a couple of suppliers at 10 to 12 c more a L.
The 98 we got for this trip was at an un manned fuel stop and really good value. It was $2.11 from memory.
$2.11 NZD is 1.07 GB pounds.
Diesel here is cheaper at the pump - about $1.50 ish but you also have to pay a road users tax on diesel vehicles - $72 per 1000K plus the rego (road tax) is higher for derv powered cars too. $175 per year compared to $105 for petrol.

Thanks
That makes for an interesting comparison. I wonder what their justification for the additional diesel tax is?2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
