Whoi Says the 5.0 isn't economical

After nearly 70,000 miles she still runs like a dream and straight out of the factory and now returns around 25mpg on a good run, must be run in...

I can believe that Thumbs Up , my car gets between 24-25 on a run and the 5.0 is supposed to be more economical than mine Range Rover Vogue 2006 4.4 AJV8 | Buckingham Blue | Parchment Leather | Supercharged Grill+Side Vents | CA02 HEY ( NOT 02 PLATE )

Just looked at mine, since I've owned it I've done just shy of 9k at an average of 20.7mpg according to the OBC, so likely to be slightly lower in real life.

To give you an idea my TD6 was averaging 25mpg doing the same motoring.
