Should expect around 320 miles per tank on mixed driving (unless you have an ENORMOUS right foot)

That works out about 33p per mile. Seems like you got a major fuel leak

I always tend to notice that the gauge levels off for a while around 50% and then slowly go down to 25% and the last 25% goes down pretty quickly. They can be a bit thirsty sometimes but a great deal depends on your overall driving style.
In the Discovery it just goes down quickly and if I don't have my wallet on me I can't floor it

This is true as you will be running on a rich fuel mixture i.e choke on both journeys!!! good excuse to go for a longer drive!!!
