[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 8122873, member: 718"] With the same engine family but an earlier version mated to a six speed automatic, my 2004 Range Rover averaged 25mpg and could achieve 30 on a long journey. I suspect that the Ineos, even with a modern Adblue engine and eight speed, will not better those figures. If used as I use my pickups over the years, none have varied much from 26 on a long unladen journey to average 18 to 20 mpg over all my mileage, depending on trailer use. These were what I got from the 110 County and Hi-Cap pickups and both the Mazda and Ford engine’d Rangers. My Land Cruiser also averaged no more than 20mpg although could manage 24 if driven carefully. That had the 4.2 turbo intercooler electronic injection diesel of 200hp and 400Nm. Four speed auto. To put that in monetary terms, even after claiming the VAT back on all the fuel [commercial vehicle], my Ranger costs on average 36 pence per mile in fuel alone. So 12000 miles would cost £4400 even without VAT for fuel alone. Mine actually averages 10,000 miles annually so £3600 at today’s fuel price. It’s horrendous when it’s worked out! To be realistic it will costs between 8000 and £10,000 per year to run a Grenadier for an owner driver at today’s cost plus 350 hours for the driver if paid labour at £12/hour, so another £4000 on top.
