I Don't feel robbed now with the petrol V8 with you diesel boys not getting much more than us ! In fact with gas lpg money to mileage wise we would get more !
(yeah ok bix and Hippo come get the comments in)

I still think the mpg is a dream. I had a Disco1 V8 before and got around 9mpg around town and 15mpg on a motorway run![]()
Really 9mpg
To be fair there is nearly 20 years difference with the engine.
Our normal run around wife driving to work and child minders 15mpg
I have driven it on the motorway about 25mpg sensible driving.
This is all running on petrol no lpg involved.
Now this is based on the trip computer reading.
With other cars I have driven its never the true consumption !
Yep 9mpg, stop start, traffic lights and damn school runners. 15mpg was based on fill and refill over several 400mile drives mainly motorway. I think I got 18 once and wondered what went wrong
Although I will say that veh was a Friday afternoon/Monday morning one.
Geees was it traffic light gran prix every time.
To be fair I drive a astra diesel work car and at the weekend I tend to go out on the RR and enjoy the power of the v8.
my TD6 has never got anywhere near 30MPG !!!
i didn't think it was possible
mine is chipped on the highest setting though.
does 19 around town, averages 23 on the motorway. but I don't usually do any long distance driving so the MPG rarely goes higher than 19MPG around town
what year did they change
Jeez - that's hardly any better than my 4.6 petrol P38!
A mate with an L322 gets around 26/28mpg locally and over 31 mpg on the autoroute, my P38 diesel locally averages 24mpg from brim to brim and close to 30mpg on a run.This is what I thought, I'll take a look at the rear calpiers but I'm not sure where I would start. When I put £90 I have just done a 180 mile motorway journey and it used around £40-£50 worth of diesel, and ive done another 100(ish) miles around town and its now ready for a re-fill..........does this sound about right?
I'm sorry if I am coming across as a total retard here but you boys clearly know your s**t!
At low speeds Drag increases proportional to speed, but as speed increases, drag increases at the square of the speed...I'd be upset if I only got 3-5 mpg more on a motorway run than I get around town. If I had the magic to get 26/28mpg around town, I'd expect the same magic to give me almost 40mpg on a motorway run. Although 'locally' can mean anything, including dual carriageway. Not necessarily stop /start.

Cd= 1/2P V2 S (Half Rho V Squared S)
Rho is the density of air
V is velocity (Squared)
S is the Cross Sectional Surface Area
Hence why you won't get much better MPG the faster you go...!

Much simpler putTrue, looked at another way. If you have a car with 100 BHP that does 100 MPH. To get 200 MPH you would need 400 BHP.![]()
