this winter has me thinking to pick up an 06 range rover either sport or the big body one, either will be the supercharged model. I prefer the bigger one, as i'm a big guy and my uncle has one and the comfort is amazing. never driven the sport.

for those that have any experience, what is the fuel mileage difference if any? i remember my uncle's 07 hse is a gas hog

 

Both are about the same, both guzzle like heck. Friend has a Rover Sport (s/c) and its pretty bad on gas, especially in the city, they may not be big but they are heavy porkers.

 

I'm averaging 15mpg in the city in my RRS s/c and about 22 mpg on the two roadtrips I've done in it.


I honestly don't think it's that bad. My 4runner, Jeep, and X5 all did worse on the freeway than the RRS does, and they weren't nearly as fun to drive!

 

you need a gas station, serious the thing is just bad, I get like 250 miles out of 25 gallons do i need to explain any further hehe

 

Yeh I don't know how anyone could get 15 city and 22 highway in one. Calculate it manually and I guarantee it won't be close, truck is lucky to get 16 highway cruising at like 65. Neighbor has one and friend does, both suck donkey ***** for mileage. If someone is getting 15/22 they got a magical RRS s/c

 

Mine must be magical!

For reals, I've driven to Vegas at 75 mph and Boise at around 80. Both times, I averaged over 20 mpg. Sixth gear is geared really low, so it hovers around 2k+/- rpm.

 

Did you calculate it manually? As when my buddy and I went to my lake house in his truck, in FL. Only got 16-17 mpg at about 70. My truck shows 22-24 on the highway on the readout, but when calculated manually its only about 18.

 

my 06 HSE got about 15-16

 

Around PHX, combo street/freeway, about 16. I have gotten as high as 18, as low as 12. Really depends on how you drive it. No measured long freeway runs...

 

I'm getting roughly 12-14 all city driving.
09 RRS

 

13-14 sounds about right on my RRS S/C - even though my readout says 16.7 no matter what..
