Wow, yes, 4.X k's per litre. Hell, no wonder you are complaining.
On my wife's car which we often take to
Melbourne or long highway runs we get usually 18 to 19k's litre, and if it is raining and travel slower, have had up to 21k's litre, which would be 5 litres per 100km.
I am complaining that my new Triton 2.8 L only gets 11 to 12 km per litre, which would be 8.5 to 9 litres per 100 k's

OziExplorer, Is your wife's car the same as in the original question? Or are you comparing apples and oranges?? I frankly can't imagine a Disco on gas getting 5l/100 .... and comparison with a different vehicle is meaningless. I've used an Echo which easily gave 5l/100 at highway speed - perhaps that's the sort of vehicle you're speaking of?

OK Ozi I understand ... but I'm still not sure why you chose to tell a bloke looking for info about a 3.9 Disco that your wife's car is economical LOL. Oh and for the Disco owner, the TD5 is very economical -
Oodnadatta to
Birdsville through the Simpson on just under 90 litres (700km) but I guess that's irrelevant too!!
