You have what we knew as the ST170, don't you?

That's the one!
I wonder how much Cosworth actually did, though. Here in the States, they downplay Cosworth and claim that SVT did all the work, and in Europe they do the opposite. Some kind of marketing thing, of course, but it's never really been made clear to me who did how much of what development work on the car.

I'm not sure how trustworthy these DIC MPG readings are but this is mine as of 2PM today.

in the range rover or the BMW?
achieved over a period with a good mix of suburban and highway driving, and one trackday usually at 11L/100km (21US mpg) when i'm careless.

Not quite as bad as 3.5 + leadfoot + 99% city driving I guess... (oh and it's the BMW. The Disco sits pretty proudly at 12.2l/100km)

Certainly. Also in the motorway having the aerodinamic properties of a brick doesn't help either...
