4.4 V8 urban mpg

[virgil]

Hello - looking to swap my 05 bmw 645 for something more child friendly and wondered what people get mpg wise out of the early 4.4 Vogues. I'm currently getting about 15mpg out of the BM around town (90% of my driving), so wondered how another ton of weight will affect that!!

(the wife wants a golf - i don't!!)

Cheers,

Neil.

Leisurly, short trips around town is about 17mpg for me.

Thanks guys.

Looks like the same or better MPG than I get in the lighter BMW with same engine!!!

I think the thing is the FFRR promotes a very relaxed driving style.

Thanks, Guys.

Just to confirm though, are these figures URBAN figures? i.e. just 'round town' driving...seems VERY high to me, even with a much more relaxed driving style. Official figures for urben are around 12mpg with a combined of mid 20's

Not questioning what you get generally, just want to be sure it's just for the URBAN cycle...before I go book a test drive...

Cheers,

Neil.
