I have seen Sandy's new car.
Extremely well sorted motor.
He's right to be happy.

I love the whine of the supercharger on full-chat - sounds like a nice Rangie.

With that kind of fuel consumption, it would stay on the drive most of the time while I used the Transit

Unless of course the euromillions comes up

If I won the lottery it would be a different story

Couldn't give a ****e on the fuel consumption

10mpg, 20 mpg - who cares? Buy a Toyota Yaris if you're worried about fuel consumption!

Buying a large SUV and then complaining about fuel consumption annoys me even more than people who move to a hot country and then complain about the heat.

Yes but there's a difference between 9MPG or 25 MPG that I get

I wanted a large 4x4
And I got one that is pretty good on fuel in my opinion

sandyt · Dec 19, 2013

Sorry everyone a revision here was meant to be 20 mpg have done just under 800 miles this week and getting 20.1 mpg across the board even I might get peed off at 10 mpg

Saint.V8 · Dec 20, 2013

+1, 10 mpg is lunacy.

I rarely managed to get 20mpg out of my XJR (same engine) unless I was on a slow cruise. Fuel management must be getting better on later engines!

PS my old XJ12 did used to genuinely return 8mpg!
