No full size 4x4 gets great economy, weighing over tons shaped like a brick and dragging a heavy transmission around with fat multi purpose tyres isn't going to mean good economy.
On a par with similar vintage 3.0 litre Landcruisers (Mitsi better value used), which vary around 25 mpg for general use (worse if you hammer them) and just about scraping 30mpg on a run, again if you don't thrash it, the newer the model the more chance it being better on fuel, but the more chance of it having a DPF which can soon negate any fuel savings if it gives grief.
Manual box helps usually by about 2 mpg on these vehicles, but these types of vehicle are so nice to drive that i'd forgo that 2mpg for the pleasure of the easy lazy comfort where road surface/quality simply isn't an issue.
