how can you even compare a td5 defender to a disco mpg?
why worry about it..buy a smart car if ya want mpg

My 110 gets between 300 -400 miles per fill depending on what I'm at, but it has a 75 liter tank

I just did a round trip to Penrith today on the M6 a total of 202 miles in my latest adition, a 1997 110 CSW and filled it up on return. I got 34mpg... outstanding! Less than 6 gallon. It should be noted I am an old fart and kept to an average of around 60mph and drove with a gentle right foot. If you rag it you will get fook all mpg.... I get a tad more out of my 1994 90. No computers, just listen to the engine and you can feel the cruising speed the engine likes...... may the force be with you

During the snow in January, I'd just filled up with jungle juice when I had a call to a woman with kids in the car who had lost control of her vehicle on ice and was now wedged across the road on a steep hill and around a blind bend. She refused to get out of her vehicle and take her kids to the safety and warmth of the pub 1/4 mile away. She was 35 miles away from my location. I had my foot flat to the floor the whole way there. It's the only time I've ever driven my landy with my foot glued to the floor. I thought I'd see how bad the fuel economy was so after I'd sorted her out I nipped into the garage just around the corner. I put just under 6 litres of fuel in and had travelled 40 miles. by my rekoning that's 30mpg. The stupid thing is that due to my tyres and the kit I carry in the back of my landy I usually only get an average of 25mpg. Sometimes a lead foot can be better.

60 litre tank about 12 gallon? 222 miles out of a tank? Something aint right. I averaged 27 town driving (unladen 90) so our figures seem about right and yours is a td5.... he has a problem or his adding up aint right

18mpg.
I'm pretty sure Buckshot's getting 300 miles to a tank in his td5 90. which equates to about 25mpg.
At 18mpg there is definately a problem. with that much difference in mileage I'd be looking for a leak in the first instance. Might be worth checking the pressure regulator on the back of the engine. Also the fuel filter and it's housing.

I live in the Alpes at the mo, my TD5 with ski rack on top gets about 20mpg, alot of running around the village and cold starts. When im at home, i get 32mpg.
Prob just depends on conditions, where u are driving etc.
Is it leaking diesel? i just replaced my Fuel Reg Valve, as mine was leaking, and was doing about 15mpg. Much better again now!
