From a 'soot chucker'. :o :o :o......I would have thought that 45 MPG was closer to the mark, Andy.

The Trip computer is probably 10% optimistic, too. :D :D ;)

Don't forget that it's permanent 4x4 and weighs 2300 kg  ;) Mine's a 7 speed auto too ........... can't think what the mph per 1000rpm is though  :-\

2300 KG......it has certainly been at the pies. ;)

As you rightly say, 4x4 adds significant weight and therefore doesn't help with economy.

According to the book my CLS has a 'kerb weight' of 1810 KG .........and I thought that was a fat bastard.  ;D ;D

I believe that the Range Rover weighs about 2500 KG.....but the next generation car will weigh significantly less.

I think the mpg of an E320 is around the 45mpg you suggested  :y

  My chargehand at work has a 2011 C class diesel and only pays £30 a year road tax
Keith B

It seems that even the later R350 is less road tax than mine.  ???

Hey ho!

It's fortunate that you are a man of almost 'unlimited wealth' Andy. :y :y ;)

£475 to you is probably about the same a £4.75 to me. :-\ :-\ :'(

says the man with a 5.0 V8 to feed ......  ;D ;D ;D ;D

The trip computer is now showing 21.3 MPG over the last 1400 miles (Mainly used for long journeys)........almost diesel levels of economy. ::) ::) ::) :)

Mine is showing 24.5 over the past 9330 miles .... just been to look  ;) ... and that's all kinds of journeys, but mostly commuting 24 miles each way on local roads

Grief Andy, that's worse than the Jeep............. :( :(

It's a Smart Roadster Coupé and is surprising not as easy as you think. You can see bugger all out of the back window & you need to put the car well over in the parking space because you need the door wide open to get out of the car.  ;)
