oh right, must be confusing the lorry driving with another member.
take the series 1 landrover, the original. made from 1948-1956 so 59-67 years old. and they run a 1.6l petrol or a 2l petrol or diesel which is about the size of, or maybe slightly smaller, than many modern cars and smaller than most modern trucks. they used aluminum left over from war planes from the second world war and the paint was war surplus as well. i would love to know how many 15 reg vehicles will be about and on the roads in 67 years time! and how many series 1 land rovers will have been scrapped etc in the next 67 years

i reckon they are pretty environmentally friendly even if their EXHAUST emissions are slightly higher than a modern g-whizz. oh and i forgot, they were all (and they modern defenders as well) made in the UK in Solihull so not shipped across seas etc by @Piemaster burning 300_ litres diesel an hour!

About 1,400,000 litres, a lot is carried as a cargo though.. Consumption is around 8,000 litres per day, very much depends on what the job entails. Very roughly around 30 litre/nautical mile. Somehow that actually sounds very economical to me!
i can understand why, but not how. isn't it illegal to run red in anything but ag vehicles and limited use?
well i'd say all of them (apart from the 107 but that is petrol) are giving incredible MPG figures in real life even!
