Depends on what speed you wish to commute at. My Defender110 will travel at 80/85mph and use 1/2 tank for a 55mph trip or less 1/8 tank for the same journey at 60mph....If I stick to 60mph for all motorway trips I reckon I'll get 350-400 mpg. Maybe even more!!!

Also I'm 6'4" and find the CSW very comfortable to drive (however with all those windows and sunroof closed in summer it gets very warm) openning them is extremely noisey so Air con would be an advantage except for the fact you lose a bit of leg room.

However if you keep the windows closed and the speed to about 60 I find that you can hold a decent conversation and the fuel economy isn't to bad
which is good cause I don't have to turn the volume up to listen to my rock music

hope this helps.........


oh the time I figured my fuel economy it was 30mpg with a mixture of 60-75mph and urban driving. would have been better but I kept flooring the loud pedal to pass idiots in front of me (you know the ones "rocket past at 100mph the slow rapidly to 55mph then accelerate to 85 as you try to pass")
