What about a Toyota 80 series Landcruiser? I got 28mpg from mine once on the way back from Val d'Isere loaded with people and stuff. I was doing 50mph though.
On another occasion I was towing a heavy trailer with a broken down fully kitted out 110 on, and I was late for the ferry. Doing 80mph with heavy trailer it uses about 1 gallon every 12 mins!!! But that's another story... (I got to the ferry!)
They still did the 80 series up to about R reg.
Or a Discovery TD5. Don't be put off by all that electronic talk. They're good.
Fitted with a bigger intercooler and chip they'll be as powerful as a Landcruiser and use less fuel. Very nice driving position as well. And more leg room for the passengers in the back. The Landcruisers and not too good for that.
Oh, what about the Landcruiser 3.0 Colorado? I don't know much about them really, but there are plenty about.
Good luck!
Cheers,
Matt
