Thought I would do an update since it's been over a year
Fuel consumption has improved. Top table is over the lifetime of the car, bottom table is the last 30 trips. I am on the motorway a lot, and generally not too heavy with the loud pedal. On the pivi pro I am either >98% efficiency or on the off day ~50% 
In winter I am up and down the ski mountains a lot with a roof box Considering I am a family of 5, and this is a (literally) heavy specced car with 7 seats and pan roof I'm happy with the numbers. I typically get 1,050km (~650miles) on a tank but I go till empty. YMWV  Click image to enlarge 22MY Defender 110 D300 S in Pangea Green and Contrast White Roof IG defender_japan "Hulk san" |

Yes mine has improved as well, l am now getting around 28mpg on local journeys.
The dashboard average MPG reading is very accurate on mine, from my calculations it's within 1mpg. |

l don't know if you could get 50mpg
You might get close if you sat at 55mph on a flat motorway. But you'd probably fall asleep and crash |

With your use scenario lightning, I'm suprised that the P400e is not top of your list, probably fill up with petrol about twice a year

Here’s what my D250 90 is getting over the 2220 miles it’s done - most of these tanks have at least one day in low box off-road included and the last two are including it’s first haul (250 miles each way) from Stirling to Harrogate via M74/M6/A66/A1M with some very fast bits and on the way south a lot of stop/start crawling on the A66 between Penrith and Scotch Corner on the non dual carriageway bits

Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |
