Anyone got a 4.2 supercharged?

if so, what average MPG do you see and what's the majority of driving you do? Are you a fast driver etc?

General driving, the average seems to be around 16-17mpg. Longer motorway trips can add another 3 or 4 to that figure. Town driving can make it drop to around 12!

These values are with a fairly heavy right foot and on regular unleaded Wink

That's excellent thanks.

I took one for a fairly short test drive, zero'd the mpg figures and all I could squeeze out of it was about 12mpg.

I've been looking into getting one and doing an LPG conversion, running on LPG drops the MPG by 2-3, so I was horrified that it might only be 10mpg when all is said and done. When its less than half what I get from the TD6 its not worth the bother of it all. Especially when doing the conversion voids all LandRover warranty. Ouch. Plus it costs £3500 to convert one. More Ouch.

PS: You have the best car ever, I had the Supercharged Sport and loved that, but the full size version really feels special. Have you posted any pics in the gallery?

cheers
