Scotland 2012 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 HSE Auto Firenze RedDiscovery 4

I spoke to the owner....a mad Danish bloke who stores it in Newcastle, and comes over and tours the West coast of Scotland in it......
He reckons he gets about 10mpg, I reckon he got his fuel gauge from a Land Rover.....I very much doubt he's getting 10mpg out of that.....

Its quite possible to get 10mpg, modern trucks at 44 ton can do better than 10mpg which in my mind makes all modern cars look truly crap on fuel.
