should be obvious: you travel less miles on speedometer but use similar fuel = less mpg on the computer, not in real life.

When I fitted 275/45 x 20's I found the speedo reading to be more accurate as well, as for mpg the trip computer is so inaccurate anyway I totally ignored it. 275/40 x 20" and 255/50 x 19" were the only factory size/option fitted to the facelift RRS1, the preface-lift did have 17" and 18" option I believe for certain markets, the different tyre/wheel sizes although different the overall diameter/radius will be approximately the same, so imagine there is no need to have to have a selectable different speedo setting for every wheel size.

Cheers

Yes you should really do your own calculation from refill to refill, saying that mine is not far far off. on 275/40/20 atm.

I'm not, ru? at the moment it's saying 3.4 km to the liter - know it can do better but hey it's summer with beaches etc.
Wouldn't touch a derv with a barge pole. had one in my life, 1 too many.

Thanks for pointing out it was obvious Rover, it’s what I figured and I’m not worried about the cost per mile just the change and wanted the confirmation. Thanks again
