I take it you'd be looking for an early Discovery?

Fair few over here with either the 200 or 300 series TDI engines- they give circa 30mpg (UK) out the box and have plenty torque off road.

Another option would be a v8 4.0 petrol fitted with LPG- lovely lazy big lumps- but need more work to make them reliable if going REALLY offroad- fording etc...

Hilux Surf seems a reasonable option- the 2.4 TD just doesnt give up.

Are you just planning to modify driving techniques to max the MPG? Cant see aero mods lasting a long time offroad!
