How Greedy is your car ...
My current car is a 2006 "56" Range Rover Sport 4.2 V8 Supercharged and it does approx 250 mile per £90 of fuel. How does this fair compared to an RS6 ?
Thanks in advance.

That doesn't sound bad for a Range Rover.
I sold mine this year, but out of 30 notes, I would get anything from 45-80 miles tops.
I would say the average would be around 60 miles (a mixture of driving styles/distances) so if you multiply that by 3 to get £90, you are talking about 180 miles. The car was quite poor on fuel and would VERY rarely see over 15mpg.

If I drive carefully with occasional blats and doing mixed town and dual carriageway/motorway driving then that's pretty similar to what I get.pscars wrote:My current car is a 2006 "56" Range Rover Sport 4.2 V8 Supercharged and it does approx 250 mile per £90 of fuel.

Very steady motorway driving might get me nearly 400 miles
Ragging it.....not many miles at all, the mpg indicator can show as little as 5-6mpg on full chat. Mine is mapped though.

My regular short journey to work and back (22miles round trip) gets me 13-14mpg on average!
V-powers not the cheapest fuel to buy either, do you think supermarket whiskey would cost less but would it burn as well?
Deffo gonna have to start fiddling my expences in the newyear.............

RE: Re: How Greedy is your car ...

Just can't get the smile off my face......
RE: Re: How Greedy is your car ...
If one really boots it our cars do 5.5mpg!!!! By my reckoning 80 litres gone in around 20 minutes. Someone quote me if I'm wrong.
RS6 (MRC'd with econodrive) is not just for Xmas

lucky, lucky Baaaarstard! ( or drive it harder yoy bunch of girls) I did £13k on fuel last year.
Anyhoo, who gives a feck, fuel is the least of your worries with the RS6.
