Does anyone know why official mpg numbers for the Range Rover Sports 2.0i (petrol) is lower than the 3 litre supercharged (petrol). Is it the way mpg is now calculated or 4 cylinder engine is strained despite being 300hp.

Because a 2 litre engine with the nuts tuned off it is going to struggle more than a less stressed 3 litre when asked to move two tons of Range Rover Sport around. It will thus use more fuel.

Discovery MPi anyone?!

In the Disco the 2.0 petrol Si4 is 29mpg combined versus 26mpg for the supercharged 3.0 V6. Maybe it’s due to the testing?

I’ve just ordered the Si4 but have never driven one! Apparently they’re ‘ok’ but real world fuel is more like low 20s.
