You'll do well to get more than about 15 mpg average, unless you drive it very sensibly.
Post corrected ;)

Well... with the 3.5 disco (1991) which is hotwire, running light and steady got about 18. Putting me toe down or heavy towing dropped it to not-much. An 84 Rangie is gonna be on carbs, which doesn't really help.
With carbs I was getting about 13.5mpg.
I used to get 12mpg round town and up 20 on the motorway. But I have a very heavy right foot.

My '84 manual EFI did around 14 mpg local and on a good day on motorway (London and back same day) could manage 23 mpg. '85 auto 16 and 21 on Strombergs, (same trips).

I had a freakishly economical '85 manual EFi that never seemed to drop below 18 mpg, did something mental like 26 mpg on a run.
The turbo one I've had for the last couple of years, um... it never seems to get more than 18 mpg, but on average it's nearer 11.
