Tow the Trailer with your Disco then 
18mpg is about right!

I average around the 25mpg mark in my MK5 190 LWB HR with a loaded twin axle car trailer 
Without it, I'm getting around 28mpg local and 35mpg on a run.

yup when I'm dragging my shed about, my mpg is about 25 mpg. Ironically thats the same as without, because I can't thrash the pods off of it to get it do 70mph
