He was aving a right laugh telling you that, as nathan5346 said most you'll get is about 16/17mpg if your not too heavy footed, will drop badly if ya boot it though.

My old 3.5 averaged 16mpg but with my disco it's 18 and some times 20 mpg average it all depends on my driving, actual realtime mpg will vary by the second, unfortunatly unlike some modern cars the disco1 doesn't have a computer to give a dash display to show that so there's now way of knowing.

These's no such thing as a fixed miles to the gallon only an average so take a worse case and say 15mpg average.
