Aaahh but before ordering my D4 I did a little research into MPG'ees etc and I asked some people I know with various 4x4's what they got.
Nissan Navara average: 24mpg
Nissan Die Hard average: 22mpg can get to 14mpg when driven "briskly"
Merc ML 350: 26mpg
Disco 3 (Trevor): 24mpg
Disco 3 (Sarah): 27-28mpg
Freelander 2 Petrol 3.2 i6: 22mpg
Volvo XC90 : She kept forgetting to tell me.
Posche Cayenne: less than 20mpg average (I think he said 16mpg)
For me, if I'm getting around 25-26mpg and I'm in a D4 (when it arrives) then I'm pretty happy with that. At worst I can run it on a 10% mix of bio-diesel which according to Land Rover the D4 is fine on. I saw this diesel kit which looks good value for money should I go down this route or buy it from a bio-diesel brewer direct.

As a side note my Freelander 2 TD4 is conservative in it's mpg estimation. I can't remember the exact figures but it was about 1-1.5mpg less than I was actually getting. If anyone's interested I could dig out the spreadsheet.
Cheerio!

Blimey, it's a bit eerie reading this thread after today's events in NZ, the OP made references to the last Earthquake in the area.
