Fuel average. was created by Porthos
I'm currently averaging 42.3 mpg which has improved from when I first got the Jimny. The car was very little used and it seemed the worse for it. Now the engine is quiet and smooth, transmission and transfer box are the biggest winners with regular use. Once a week the transfer box gets a bit of exercise and can now be engaged easily and smoothly. What a little beauty!

My 23 model LCV seems to have settled down at around the 45 mpg mark, although I cannot claim to drive it with the aim of maximising the mpg figure. This vehicle certainly isn't very economical or aerodynamic on the road, as many forum members have noted over the years. As for the transfer box - always a good idea to use it occasionally - so that it doesn't get sticky or even seize, due to a lack of usage. Then when you do need to use it - it slides into action with the greatest of ease!

My 2020 SZ5 averages 39mpg, but that is with 215/75r15 ATs on it, they knocked about 2mpg off.
If I drive it below 50mph, out of the wind it will go up to 43mpg, but there’s no fun in that.

Today temeraire has managed a very impressive 16 mpg over 60 miles. The joy of an automatic running at just under gross train weight. But petrol is cheap.
Correction on account of being tired last night. 33mpg

Currently I get around 240 odd miles from a full tank. At current petrol prices about 4-5 miles/£. Not measured it since I changed my exhaust, but I'm sure any potential gains will be nulled by adding sound deadning mass.

According to the km/l to mpg conversion calculations I get 41mpg from mine.
although I have noticed when I use 4x4 it it jumps up considerably, to around 30mpg.

It seems that last night I was too tired to do maths properly. Yesterday with the trailer on running full load and 2 up with supplies in the car so essentially just nicely under full weight a trip to Skipton which for those who know is constantly up or down and not flat in the slightest managed an actual figure of 33.1 mpg which is actually a lot more impressive than 16.

Used for commuting our 2020 manages around 36mpg.
On a longer run l can get over 40mpg as reported above.
But due to the commute, the average is 38mpg.

Don't know how you old boys (or girls???) are averaging 40mpg plus. I can only assume you never go above 25mph and have not ever used the red line.....
Mine tends to average around the 32-34mpg mark, with 38/39mpg on a decent non motorway run. Motorway speeds seem to end up at 33mpg or lower.

I just got 38 mpg for the full tank (fuel light came on 25 miles from home) on my trip to the Adventure Overland Show, that is fully loaded for 3 nights camping and speed limiter set to 63 for the motorway.
