Round town TDV8 Real mpg

Dilemma between the SC and TDV8 comes down to round town mpg, as the TDV8 is a conciderable amount more to purchase..

i know the SC is about 11mpg in heavy town driving but what is the real world round town mpg of the TDV8 ?

Proper round town please ?

Many thanks

Heavy town traffic? 18mpg maybe. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

I live 1440 ft up a one track which kills MPG, however still averaging 24/25, on a motorway run at circa 75/80 I get real time 35 , it has been chipped though

2011 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Santorini Black

I get 15/17 mpg in town. But not London traffic. That with the 5.0 supercharge. MY11 Autobiography supercharged. Santorini Black. Monaco interior. Rear screens. Privacy.
Gone MY08 Supercharged HST. Java black. Ivory premium interior. Rear screens. Privacy. Missed a lot.
Gone MY04 Discovery V8 Petrol ES Premium. Awesome.

35!?? How the hell do you manage that? On a run at 80 I get 26mpg, 28mpg if I'm lucky... 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders

Think the only way to get a true figure is to calculate it manually. MY16 AUTOBIOGRAPHY Indus silver with some toys

2012 3.0 SDV6 Luxury gone, but a great motor

I get about 17/18 around town and up to 24/25 at a steady M way pace.

Given your annual mileage I'd go SC FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

2007 Range Rover Sport TDV8 HSE Java Black

yep, 17/18 in traffic and 24-28 on the motorway.

I once zero'd the counter as I entered the motorway and read it as I left the motorway... No tailwind.. 70mph all the way for an hour, and it was reading 32mpg... but this is hardly a real world "accurate" figure to base true mpg on. RRS gone
