Have been getting 550 km per tank using regular unleaded towing a trailer full of tools approx 500kg and tools in the back plus a full roof cage. How does this compare to anyone else? Have put in 98 octane for the last 2 tanks to see if any improvement. Car does run a lot better. First tank gave the same economy. Am half way through the second tank and milage seems a little better.

not sure how it stacks up with what your getting but i put in $150.00, 142lts and to date have clocked up 876km and still have over 1/4 tank. the first 420km was towing a trailer with the air cond on the hole way. then 160km to work with the aircond on then 160km home with the aircond on and in 4wd (cleaned the interior at work and knocked it into 4wd and didn't notice until i got home). the other km have been short trips arround town.

With my SWB NJ 3.0L I can get around 480-500kms of city driving on a complete tank of 75 litres. Running standard unleaded petrol. Engine wise is standard, though I have fitted a K&N air filter.
According to the Gregory's service manual:
SWB tank size: 75 litres.
LWB tank size: 92 litres.

with a 90lt tank assuming the guage shows empty with 10lts remaining we will work on 80lt.
worst usage for 80lt should be 570km travelled
best usage for 80lt would be 710km travelled or close enough to it
Hope this helps

Longy - The City miles are what is killing you! If you can get less start/stop into your day, you'll see much better mileage, and I imagine that your stress levels won't be so high, as well.
My NL (92L tank, I think) does about 600km on the Central Coast, with about 10-15L to spare. I do drive like a nanna, but I am not getting a speeding ticket for anyone! So if you're sitting behind me, tough beans - odds are, my car is bigger than yours (said to the average Joe).

For Those that tried it out on 98Ron from 92Ron. You might need a few tanks to be filled up before you start to see any improvement on Power and economy, as it takes the computer to self adjust with the 98Ron after a while.NJ Shortie 3ltr

now im not sure if this is correct or not but i was told by a mechanic that has worked on pajeros for a long time, i said to him that i use premium when i fill up and he said that i should be doing a 1:3 ratio that being 1 premium tank to 3 normal tanks because he said that the premium cleans the engine and with my model if it cleans to much then the internals become sticky and therefore makes it worse so he said that this ratio will clean but not trip it of the coating that the normal fuel puts on there.
