Fuel economy question

as said above, your right foor makes the biggest difference to mpg. But if you're towing, mpg is never going to be good.

Briang!  Have had  3 of those and put 90,000 on each!  Great motors and I wish I still had one!  Currently on a Merc ML300 auto. Its great on solo fuel consumption and being a V6 smoother, but I'd swap it for an LC4 tomorrow.

The Merc is a "Blue Efficiency" version & I get a solo average of about 33-34 and once lightly laden 40 mpg.

Towing a heavy Coachman Pastiche 565/4 at about 24 mpg on average. (pressing on)

Even then, there's nothing like a landcruiser! Stick with it!

Tigerfish,This is about the same fuel consumpsion as what i get on my LC4. 190bhp 410 torque what more do you need Telegraph Hill at the end of the M5 Exeter going up there at 60mph no problem at all, that is a test on it's own. Will not want to sell it.

Went up there many years ago in a hired Fiesta. 4 of us in it & it just about got to the top

They were in a bag in the boot 

Telegraph Hill was the reason we bought the Series llA (avatar) back in the early 70s. Every other car we had needed new big ends after towing up that hill. These days any decent tow car will cope without problems but the hills in the SW are the reason we always chose beefy 4WDs for towing. Our last, a Shogun, could easily exceed the speed limit towing up Telegraph Hill. 

We sail up Telegraph Hill in fourth with the Bailey on the hook of our Sportage on the way to Hillhead each year the temp gauge does not alter 

I don't have a big one so can't compete with you lot....in fact I didn't really want to

I did the Monte once though!!!!!!

That's as it should be. As I said, these days it's different with modern cars.
