Automatics Off road

:(bigcry):
Today I took the VM (diesel manual) for a pay and play, as it was a bit too far away to grantee making it there and back in the V8 on its current engine. Must get the fresh engine/chassis/(suspension?) sorted on the V8 pronto, I miss the auto box off road.
However I did do 266 miles (not including the miles driven off road) on just half a tank of fuel :D
Jonny Boaterboy:
That's interesting what MPG people are geting, my 3.9 is averaging 17MPG but I am very light on the go-go pedel The worst it has done is 13MPG and the best 22MPG
Just to give you an Idea of petrol running cost..... a full tank is about 80litres of fuel costing round about £75 a tank full (roughly!) and on one tank full i get round about 315 miles.
I keep a check on how much fuel i'm burning here's some stats on what fuel i have used from th 01/01/07 - 24/10/07
Distanced traveled: 8889 miles
Totel fuel consumed: 2447.78ltr
Cost of fuel per 100 miles £27.18
fuel consumption rate: 27.54 ltr per 100 miles
Total expense........ £2391.93
hummmmm :?
blackbob:
i love the V8 auto off road apart from the down hill engine breaking still not use to it :lol:
Range Rover Blues:
Of course if you've fitted bigger tyres then engine braking will suffer too.
