Uh... it's twenty years old?
No car from 1989 is going to be great on fuel economy, whatever country it was made in.
Especially not a Land Rover - which was designed to rove land, not to save fuel!

They should use that in their advertising. "Got land to rove? Buy a landrover!".

Not that I've ever heard of. You'd hear it if it needed it for some reason.

Fair enough. Using higher RON fuel always resulted in an extra 5 mph on the top speed!

I don't know about
no
car. I had a car from 1987, namely a Ford Escort, that was incredible good on fuel. 40MPG on a trip was not uncommon and at least 30 MPG local driving was the norm.
A large SUV is of course quite lousy on fuel, but fully loaded with family, luggage and a rack with 4 bikes is an impossible task for the Escort. Plus if there is a creek to be crossed, the Escort would have to float it.

Good for you. A 4-banger, no doubt?
