That's great fuel economy. I have friends with petrol Pajeros and they tell me they get 16l/100 around town so you're doing well. I get 12 in a TD Prado around town. I guess yours must be diesel too? I assumed it was petrol. That changes my comments because the petrol is very heavy usually. Just looked back at the original post - sorry if I insulted you!

mijochka,
I read with interest your fuel issue , however very interested in your towing a caravan, can you tell me what is your normal flat highway speed , and what gear do you tow in for those conditions , and how does it tow up moderate slopes , I tow a 20 ft ensuite van with a 60 series autoToyota with 2H motor and aftermarket turbo and I find that up hills certainly slows the outfit down to about 60 kph and well below that on a steep gradient . I am only a"newbie" so would it be OK if I asked you other questions as they arise ?

Thanks to all who responded. Coincidentally, we've had to take the tank out to rectify a fuel blockage (algae) and yes it does hold 90 l and the sender is crook.
I'm a bit of a newby to the 4wd & caravan scene too, but I've spent many years driving heavy trucks, so I have a fair handle on turbo diesels and how to get the best out of them.
When towing I run at about 90-95 kph which equates to 2500-800 rpm in 4th gear. 5th (overdrive) is used only on downhill runs where the motor is not under load.
Throttle opening is the enemy of fuel consumption. I try never to use more than half throttle,selecting a lower gear when needed,thereby running at higher revs (never overabout 3000) at a lesser throttle opening.
An aquaintance is rapidly destroying a late model 3.0 l Patrol by towing a 16' van in 5th gear with the pedal welded to the floor. There are B Doubles using less fuel and the front of the van is coated in soot.
