My observation is that this vehicle - 2005 Range Rover HSE US version - that has M62 v8 engine is getting 15 mpg at max on combined city/highway cycle.
Is this normal/expected?

It was just reading from the fuel economy indicator on the screen. Not sure how trustful it could be.

I add about 20% to the lies in my Mustang, it's not a science, it just makes me feel... better? Nope, cheated.
Managed 35.3mpg in the 4.4 TDV8 on a round trip from Maidstone to Falmouth over the weekend which I was very pleased with. I don't bother trying to hyper-mile these things, it just spoils the enjoyment. When I fill it again, I'll work out the economy properly and that will wipe the grin off my face I have no doubt.

I've adjusted the mpg-ometer to try and make it more accurate.
My long term average is 25mpg and i always try to drive as frugally as possible, but that doesn't mean i do 56 on the motorway, try to stick between 65-70

I was just wondering why any of us would use the words "Range Rover" and "economy" in the same sentence ?

One one the reason why I asked - a shop several months ago pulled 'Too rich on idle' codes (I never saw that code using All Comms III cable) and told me that engine was getting more fuel than needed and it also was contributing poor fuel economy. Also told me that I need to replace mass air flow sensor. Which I did. It did not improve the fuel economy at the end...
But seems 15 mpg is norm based on the replies.

How about 'Range rover will cause your personal economy go to drain'?
