2007 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Java Black

I picked mine up last thursday, and have to admit that i love the car but am a bit worried about the mpg. i live in london, and the computer is telling me i have a range of 280 miles for a full tank, an mpg of 14mpg! i really hope that the engine loosens up and consumption improves, as i choose the diesel to get better fuel consumption, and 14mpg is a bit nuts. 2.7 TDV6 HSE 2007 finnally arrived

It will get better Alex... in fact, it seems to only get better up to around 10k and then plateaus out.

2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

The ECU seems to change the engine tuning settings at about 600/1000 miles and 3000 miles as the engine beds in. I've noticed with previous diesel powered Land Rovers that they all do this and you get progressively better consumption as it re-tunes 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
