I don't believe them either.

You better believe em :rolleyes:

The petrols were utter crap on fuel hence the reason for me buying a Diesel RRC.

I still bought a 3.9 manual vogue as a toy
and the '83 auto was unique but still thirsty as fook.

No offence but those figures are scarcely believable !
Back in the 'nineties I owned WW2 American army trucks (Dodge & Chevrolet) with short gearing & low comp. petrol engines that weighed more than a RR & still returned 12 mpg on a run.
Your lowest figure could be achieved with a 6x6 Diamond T with a eight litre side valve petrol engine from the same period.

It probably had something to do with what i towed. :cool:

Well considering I current own 4 V8 powered vehciles and have lots of first hand experience with twin carb V8 90’s and classic Range Rovers. I still think your mpg claims are at best hyperbole and wrong. Meaning you are ether lying or worked them out wrong.

You can claim what you want, but they were very thirsty.
single digit mpg figures were all too common.

And considering my bosch Fuel injected v8 is only getting 14mpg i'd say the rv8 is thirty no matter what guise its in Carb'd or injected.
 
Yes i know, ya don't buy a 4.6 expecting 50mpg but my 125k vogue is doing 14.7 according to the trip cumspewter.

She's a late 2001 4.6 with the bosch injection.

she does have a wonky Lambda sensor does this affect fuel economy?

I would be ok with 18-22 mpg but 14 seems silly am i right???

:cool:
If you get 22 you need to stop sniffing glue
