I can get 34mpg on a run in the xc90 which is awd not 4wd, who knew a disco would be an economy box!
My grand cherokee i owned briefly was 30 on a run.
Towing i would think the xc90 will go down into the low 20s

If I drive like a Granny on the motorway, I can get the disco to 35mpg. Towing loaded up to the nuts & doing 70 it returns a reliable 24mpg. The missus gets 22 doing 5 miles per day to & from work & she had a lead right foot🙄

Is that genuine MPG or going by the lying optimistic onboard computer ? 🤔

Trip computer, I have checked it on a run with a Brim to brim fill & it's usually about right & can vary slightly either way.

I read recently that there was some dubiety about the Amarok fitting the dual purpose vehicle rules due to its weight, thereby meaning its speed limits were the same as a large van, ie 50 on A class roads etc ...didnt hear the outcome though ?

The only bit that gets changed is the black diffuser in the centre, normally its slatted and goes under the bumper more, but it gets replaced with a slimmer one to accommodate the tow bar when it gets retracted.

You'd probably not make Inverkip from Greenock. That ruddy great hill would be the end of it.
