car’s mpg are not as manufacturer claim to be, moreso when it’s a big and heavy thing.
Verily in urban driving and also true for extraurban but only if you drive like a cock on the motorway or drive in the mountains. If, however, you cruise at a constant 65ish mph even big lumps can achieve those claimed mpgs because there´s no stopping and starting or pointless accelerating and braking cycles. We have a VW Caddy Maxi CNG (very heavy because of those gas bottles strapped underneath) and I regularly exceed the manufacturer´s extraurban mpg claim with shitloads of people and bikes and luggage inside. Ditto for a Focus diesel. Obviously results will improve drastically if you reduce cruise speed.
Also, I had no idea the Disco was so low nowadays. The boot in the news footage looked so tiny that I assumed it was an Evoque. What a pointless thing then. Where do one´s hunting hounds go?

Where do one´s hunting hounds go?
One doesn't own one's own hounds. The hounds are kept by the hunt. So the Disco only has to tow the horsebox with your hunter in it. The kennelman or kennel huntsman will deal with the hounds. And he'll have Landy. Or a Hilux.

Even with that in mind, car’s mpg are not as manufacturer claim to be, moreso when it’s a big and heavy thing.
Either way it’s moot, a big journey like that, you’re gonna have to fill up so it doesn’t go completely empty.
