Most re-maps are designed to release more power/torque from the emissions regulated factory map. I'd be surprised if any of them will quote mpg gains.

Cold starts/short journeys are the biggest mpg killers on the Range.

Urban motoring is never ecconomical, and Range Rovers are never going to win that competition anyway.

You;d see a better mpg return by modifying your driving style, ie looking forward to keep momentum, not using the brakes unless really needed, accelerating slowly & coasting between lights rather than booting it and standing on the anchors.
But these are things you may already be doing.


Just my 10 pennies worth.. RRS gone

On a serious note, there are a few things that people recomend but non of them are going to make a big difference, if economy is high on your priorities list then a RRS may not be the best choice Thumbs Up
