RRS Supercharged

Hi all

Thinking of selling my beloved Disco 3 as it is out of warrenty in sept 08 and was thinking of buying a supercharged RRS. You lot who own one of these what mpg do you get and could they be converted to run on gas.

My mate runs a dodge ram with a 5.7 hemmi engine in it on gas as he has his own tank and only pays 27p per litre including duty and vat.

Or do i buy a RRS TDV8 and put up with the price of diesel,

cheers shawn

If mpg will ever play a part in your decision, then get the diesel

I do minimal miles in my s/c so honestly, its pretty marginal for me between the two, but the s/c was £10k cheaper to get in to

JE Engineering has recently done an LPG conversion to their uprated SC. Give them a call or go see them. TDV6 - gone
TDV8 - gone

2006 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Java Black

Yep, it really is that bad on consumption... to the point where you tippy toe on the fast pedal. I thought I wouldnt be bothered... after all, if you can afford the car you can afford the petrol right? well, even if you can afford it you feel like its takin the a little.

I might swap mine in for the diesel v8 at some point, might not get the sound but I'd lose the pain everytime I put my foot down (which seems to be only when I've overfilled, and you cant see the needle moving.. hehe) Just Picked up: 2006 RRS S/C, java with Ivory.
