2006 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Zambezi Silver
Trade UP

To the V8 supercharged and you'd get better mileage. Had mine for a year and even with town driving I still get between 14 and 15. On the longer runs it's in the v low twenties. On a recent run into London the figures seemed to be going up and up (17, 18, 19, 20..) started feathering the throttle, coasting and trying to get as much as I could. When it hit 35 I realised something was wrong. Had inadvertantly nudged the stalk so readout was giving me trip mileage...

United Kingdom 2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Zermatt Silver

Hi Im getting 22-23 round town & 28 motorway doing approx 75-80 mph recently put in a bit of 2stroke & it does seem to be a little better on the juice.. Thinking of having power upgrade dont know if it will make any difference to the mpg. Had a L200 mitsi 2.5 td had it chipped & that did not make a difference to the mpg, just gave me a load more torque.. Smile
