5.0SC MPG?

How is the new 5.0sc on fuel now that the car is lighter,would have though it might be reasonable now and if only doing low miles more intresting than the diesels. TIA. SVR 2018 in Santorini Black.

United Kingdom 2013 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Autobiography Firenze Red

Mine uses less fuel than the old 4.2 used to.. driving quickly I would say 17 - 18, drive it with a bit of fun 12 - 14!
A few years back when I had an Integrale, used to get very fast road speeds at various known points along the local roads, not even trying and the 5.0 ltr is a fair bit quicker, (10 mpg then).....

says 18.1 average on the dash if you believe, around £100 goes about 300 miles 5.0 Ltr Superchrged RRS2, Chile Red, Sideways out of junctions!
TDV8 HST Stornaway on a 08.. remapped.. now gone and replaced, was a mighty fine car..
4.2 SC First Edition when they first came out, quick car!

I agree, 19 for everyday spirited driving with the opportunity to drop back to low 20s on a motorway cruise seems fine to me for the power available. I have long had a 5 litre supercharged Mercedes where 22 mpg on a run is a result. Mark
