United Kingdom 2007 Range Rover Supercharged 4.2 SC V8 Java Black
Best and Worst MPG...

So Chaps,

On the topic of MPG figures - the FFRR does surprise me occasionally; today driving from 65-70 mph for 75 miles I achieved an average of 26.5 MPG. However, only last week, on my way home I got to an average of 15.6 MPG across similar distances. Both figures are not terrible considering this is a 4.4 V8 that weighs about 3 tons.

Just wondered what your best and worst MPG figures were, and in which model? (If the 4.2 SC is not too much worse, then I may be tempted).

Mines mostly short runs of 5 miles or less at the moment, one consumption is showing 15 mpg and the other 18mpg. Obviously does more on a longer run. 4.4v8 petrol (06). Maybe I should get the supercharged, can't be much worse Shocked

My TDV8 is very frugal. Never dips below 20 even when towing. Normal average is about 28 and my "drive like a Grandma" run gave me 40 on a 100 mile trip at a very steady 60. Took some doing to keep it at 40 though, kept dipping down to a more natural 39 ish.

Mine does lots of short journeys usually of 10miles or less to work and back and returns about 19-21mpg without hoofing it lots.
On longer trips I've seen it get upto 31mpg for trips about 70miles long on the motorway.

Recently towing a 1.9tonne twin axle 'van its been getting 17-19mpg on all a roads and up and down hills a fair bit( to Scarborough and back)
This is all with a TD6 unit up front Smile

I'm with Comports: somewhere between 23 and 25mpg onthe TD6. I averaged very close to the same with a TDV8 a while back - at lower speeds. At speeds over 100mph (autobahn) the TD6 starts drinking like I do on a Friday night. And while the TDV8 was still at frugal 20ish levels at 125mph, my TD6 was approaching the consumption of Mick's SC albeit w/o the hp... Rolling Eyes

England 2015 Range Rover SVAutobiography SDV8 Loire Blue

My SC which is used as an occasional car, mostly for family holiday use (at a reasonably gentle pace) or to show customers (at a hair on fire pace normally!) has averaged over the last 5000 miles 18.2mpg... I drove up & back to Norfolk at the weekend and returned 22.6mpg with 3 adults 2 kids and luggage, a slow run up the A roads in heavy traffic Friday eve and a faster (more relaxed) run back round the M11/M25/M4 on Sunday. Oh and thats calculated MPG not the dash readout (which incidentally said more MPG!) & running 22" alloys/tyres (which some say knock the MPG)

Hope this info helps!

Plus its half price on LPG!!!!! Yippy!!!!! Rolling with laughter

Craig Thumbs Up
