Hi , yes common fault small fuel tank, fuel gage arrow goes down same speed as rpm....
Oh and the thing is to look out for some shell oil shares like other gents mentioned on here, or owning petrol station will be a move forward as you will visit it as often as your own home
Best car i ever had so far......

Hey, thanks for your response!

Do you know how much a full tank is in pounds and litres? and how many miles 2 gallon i can get?

obviously it would be down to driver behaviour etc but im thinking petrol wil be gone quick!?

£110, 16.5 per Gallon.  2006 S/C Bonatti Grey, OEM Steps, LAND ROVFR Mud Flaps, Soft/Smooth steering wheel, 2010/11 HST Wheels.

Hey thanks!!

why the hell do i think it was around 160 for a full tank?!?!!

is this £110 for a 4.2 supercharged version///?

Well it is for Mine. But i never drive to far with the Petral light on. 2006 S/C Bonatti Grey, OEM Steps, LAND ROVFR Mud Flaps, Soft/Smooth steering wheel, 2010/11 HST Wheels.

I can second that! And to be honest I don't drive to far with out a full tank!

I get 11.5mpg around town stop start work thats about 220miles on a full tank and about 18.5 on a run (that's about 350miles on a full tank) at speeds of between 70 and 100 so I'm told !!

I went out and just bought one then I had to save up to use it

Best damn car I have ever owned. If you can afford to run it you'll love it guaranteed!  Cheers Laurence.

After futher testing yesterday i drove rrs 4.2 s/c till it said on trip computer - range 0 miles, that petrol gage and( sensor ) in fuel tank is very acurate, 19 galons or 19.5 est and abt 110-120 to fill it up depending on which petrol station you use.
Oh every time i visit that petrol station my swear word vocabluary increasing while am at the pump puting fuel in the car ( some people near by thinking am a special guy with turrets syndrome)
But now i would like a new s/c model )))))

Have a look at this, you will LOVE the end part 8 MPG ?
 In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

Yeep drive like Jeremy thats what you get ) so be prepared....
But hey if you got money to buy a car like that you should have no problem runing it......

Buy one that runs on tractor juice. If your lucky you can get 30mpg when going downhill. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures

Hi

I have spent the last three years driving an is300 Lexus which is one hell of a car, super fast,quiet,silky smooth and in three years only ever had one let down which was a puncture !
Like the Range Rover it was a thirsty car and i was loathed to move onto a bigger engined car, however, once you drive a supercharged 4.2 you will never want to go back to anything else but this amazing piece of british engineering.

The Range Rover sport 4.2 supercharged is without doubt the most amazing bit of kit i have driven in a very long time, i have driven some very classy cars, astons, jaguars, bentley to name a few, but not one gives the same feeling of unleashing that V8 and experiencing 3 ton of pure majic doing what it does best. You just cannot stop smiling when you hit the gas peddal, the roar and pace are just an amazing thing to experience and i dont think i will ever tire of it.
Just last week i was fortunate enough to take the wheel of a brand new sport, all £60k of it, it was a 3 litre diesel version and although it pulled well it just did not have that "WOW WOW WOW" factor that the supercharged gives in bucketloads.
Yes the fuel costs are high, lets face it 250 miles on approx £90.00 of fuel is never going to impress anyone, but you have to weigh it up with what you get for that £90.00.
Would i rather be driving a mondeo, bored to death with being Mr ordinary, no way matey, this car delivers so much more and I for one will not be changing. 2005 Rang Rover Supercharged
Loving every minute !

Jetbags that is spot on mate.
