Title: Running costs
Post by: Range Rover Blues on March 11, 2008, 14:48:04
Just to put  things in perspective, I'm quite pleased with my LSE at the moment.  I've been driving it carefully and have swapped the leads and dizzy cap for a NOS Unipart one.

Anyway, it does 12.4MPG :dance: on LPG

Somehow I can't see it getting any better without a big cash investment.

Just thought I'd share :)

my 3.5 EFI running on straight petrol avearged around 16 to 17 if driven sensibly and that was with a fairly tired engine. When I chanched the head gakets, just looking ate the cruddy oil around the valve train its obvious it hadn't had a reqular oil change for a while.

To be honest the economy is not what bothers me so much (Thats what hatchbacks are for), but I do notice the range to a tank of fuel is less from ideal for a full days green laning.

Mine has a fairly tidy 3.5 v8 efi and i average around 18 but that is very carefull driving. As soon as i tow or go playing i stop trying to work it out.

Oddly the 3.5s do seem to be the more economical, by quite a margin.
