I have a Suzuki Grand Vitara 4X4 with a modern 2.0 liter intercooled common-rail Peugeot turbodiesel and get a carefully-measured 33.6 MPG (US) on a normal road trip, typically driving at 60 mph on hilly country roads with a few small towns thrown in.

Like the Trooper, it's an un-aerodynamic box on wheels, and screwing with maximum power limits is hardly going to change the fundamentals of diesel efficiency when cruising.
