its because its a tallish square box to push through the air so there is more drag therefore lower mpg

I get 26MPG on the motorway at 70mph........

....on the trailer behind my Range Rover Sport 2.7 Diesel (3 tonnes of RRS and probably 1.5 tonnes of Jimny/Trailer)

Which is more economic than driving the 1 ton of Jimny at 17-19 MPG at 60 MPH :ohmy:

I get a constant 26mpg out of the 3.1 diesel Monterey, and from that I've worked out I get pretty much bang on the same from the Jimny. Small it may be but it's certainly not economical :(
