Can You Afford To Drive A V8 Range Rover? BRUTALLY HONEST MPG Test!

[@MStanleyRoss]

I have been running Land Rover models for over fifteen years now, never been let down. Currently running the exact same model as you, same year, just 13k more miles. Tomorrow, four of us will drive way up into Scotland, regardless of the named storm, in comfort, and we'll do about 140 pmpg, driving it sensibly. If you want mpg, buy a passat.

[@Mts1980-v8y]

How did it go ?

[@MStanleyRoss]

@@Mts1980-v8y Pretty good until we got to about five miles from the church. Tyre issue not car capability, ice under deep snow on a steep hill, quite close to remote village called Fintry. Made it back down, went into Stirling and came into the village from the other end. No idea what it cost, but my passengers all agreed in their cars we'd never have made the service. And, they felt they were in luxury. Not always about cash.

You missed the S off the front. It is smiles per gallon.

You should never let a diesel get low on fuel, especially in winter as you can get condensation in the tank which sttles as water in the filters and can freeze. You save nothing by keep putting a little bit in, in fact you probably use more keep stopping for fuel.

The 4.4 TDV8 will do low 30’s in mpg if driven sensibly. Mainly due to the 8speed box keeping the rpm lower on steady cruise.

[@chrisaris8756]

I am a great JLR fan to worry about affording the fuel for a Rangie is misleading. If you are on a tightish budget, fuel isn’t the main thing - I run a Jaguar F Pace SVR 5litre V8 550hp, fabulous car. It can actually turn 30mpg on a run if you stay legal - it’s only doing 1500 rpm at 70, but that isn’t the issue. You have to keep up with the maintenance on these types of cars. Oil alone is £140, tyres 1400 for 4 Pirelli’s. And if you skimp on maintenance you WILL get problems. Range Rovers particularly have got a reputation amongst the KZbin “experts” for having problems but most of this is because the vehicles featured are old and poorly maintained. One you are considering an elderly Rangie or Jag (or any older prestige car for that matter!) you will have a great car but just remember the purchase price is merely the down payment!

Great video 😎 and a new subscriber here. I used to have an L322 with the 4.2 supercharged petrol, great but of kit, each time I put fuel in it, I checked for leaks as the pump never stopped 🤣 I think it only managed half the milage of the TDV8 as well..

This week I drove a ford transit into Central London a run of just over 120 miles refilling it used less than 3 gallons/13lts (can't give exact figures as boss wanted receipt) an average of nearly 50mpg!!

Under similar conditions a new LWB hightop SAIC transit actually got 49. 6mpg. 35mpg is a more normal figure under the right conditions start /stop really seems to save fuel.

That's over £2200 a year. £8800 over 4 years, I'm now spending £580 over a 4 year period albeit I will have VED to pay next year, that's 15 times less than I was spending over the same time period.

I would not touch a Land Rover with a barge pole. I used to work in Scotland, building oil platforms. When the Yanks arrived on the Moray Firth, they bought a fleet of LR's and one by one, they failed. Moving over to Datsuns, they could not break these phenomenally reliable vehicles. LR's are over hyped, overpriced Mug Bait!

Datsun's have not existed in the UK since at least the early 80's

The answer is no, I had one got rid of it to much fuel costs

There’s nothing wrong with wanting a fifteen-twenty year old Range Rover. There is everything wrong with buying anything newer.
