A Simple rant....
You do not buy a £40k+ 4x4 to worry about fuel !
Generally, across them all LC MPG is RUBBISH and if MPG is important to you then buy a Yaris !
There are just too many variables to compare, driver, tyres, tyre pressures, loads, speeds, roof loads, hills, and clearly by some comments here, some people must live in holland and never do more than 40mpg! come on pull the other one.
Personally, I bought mine because it was still faster than most 4x4s fully loaded. The best fun I have is on the european motorways and catching another UK camel trophy or G4 wannabe defender loaded to the gunnels and blasting past them in a cloud of burnt hydrocarbons..
So stop fannying about, get yer foot down and stop holding up the traffic!!
You 40MPH LC's are giving t he rest of us a bad name !!
