2013 Range Rover Sport SDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey

Filled mine up on Friday afternoon and have so far covered 280 miles (crumbs nearly the same miles as I drove it in the whole of May!) Managed to get the trip computer up to 32.7mpg, and then blew the good work by spending most of this afternoon off road in low ratio and managed to drop the computer back to 26.6mpg but the 78 miles drive back (including a climb up a long incline up the back of the A83 Rest and Be Thankful, and also the long glide back down the other sdie on a very light throttle stuck behind a fleet of vintage Rolls Royces flat out downhill at 45mph for 4 miles without being able to overtake. That got the trip comp back up to 28.9mpg by the time I got home. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 SE Arctic Frost

Just under 600miles clocked up over the last week up in Yorkshire, including pulling the tintent both ways. I think the trip computer is showing the fuel consumption at something like 19 - 20 mpg.

Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

I've just been away in the Forest of Dean - cycling .. blasted down there and back = 15.6mpg , makes not a blind bit of difference whether i'm getting 11.9 average from all the town driving I normally do - or the odd long run like this one and it only improvers ..............................

Just loving this car. Fantastic off road and just as bloody good on TARMAC

Corris grey and ivory leather + most of the toys.

Gone TDV8 RR Sport. Never to be forgotten.

Took my 90 to local non franchise service and fettling guy and he asked me what sort of mpg a TDv8 should be getting in an RRS as one of his other customers has one and reckons he's AVERAGING 30mpg. I said that I would take that with a pinch of salt and said I had heard 24-25mpg for a TDv8 was more realistic - was I right or was the owner right? 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
