How many miles will a landrover v8 engine do?
Answers:
It's the how long is a piece of string question in disguise again.
Miles in distance or miles per gallon?either way there to many variables involved.If you want a laugh you could always read the makers official specifications in the manual.
Two lamp posts to the gallon.
The Rover V8 engine, which is based on a US Buick engine, is very tough, and if it is properly maintained, should be capable of a very high mileage.
As with any engine, regular oil and filter changes are vital - use a top quality oil of the spec recommended by the manufacturer.
Most experts advise oil changes every 5000 miles at the most - even more often if you are operating in a tough environment.
Reducing Gas Prices
We can reduce gas prices, and in many cases reduce our expenses in other areas, by reducing the demand for petroleum products. How do we reduce demand? Easy. Reduce consumption. Here are some suggestions on how to do that:
1. Make sure your tires are properly inflated. Improperly inflated tires reduce gas mileage. Most tires should be inflated to 32-35 psi, but look on your tires for specific numbers.
2. Make sure your engine is properly tuned. An out of tune engine wastes gas and money. Have it checked.
3. When you stop at a stop light, stay stopped until the light is green. Don’t try to ease up a little at a time – this not only wastes gas, but wears out your brakes sooner than normal.
4. Accelerate slowly. Rapid acceleration (“jack rabbit starts”) wastes gas.
5. Use synthetic oil whenever you change or have your oil changed. Since it’s synthetic, you are not using a petroleum product therefore you are reducing demand. Most cars actually get better gas mileage with synthetic oil, so it’s a win win.
6. Whenever possible, use alternative fuels such as biodiesel or E85. They not only reduce petroleum consumption, but they are cheaper and better for the environment. Unfortunately, they are not widely available yet in most places, but start asking about them when you buy gas and fuel distributors will begin to get the message; if they think there is a market, they will supply that market.
7. Don’t rush out to buy a new car… but if you are in the market for one anyway, consider buying a more fuel efficient car or even a hybrid car. Hybrid cars are more expensive but you can get a federal tax credit which will offset much of the extra expense and if you do a lot of driving, the money you save on gas will offset the rest.
8. Carpool.
150,000 with regular oil and filter changes?
well i had a series one rangy, with 275000 on it. mind you id played with it..just a bit. i put nato tyres on it, 900x750
i used the cam out of a 3.9 injection, and two new strombergs..and the new heads were polished and ported by my mad metal polisher brother. i chopped into the fuel line and wrapped it around the top heater hose, and tehn into the carbs..hot fuel atomises better than cold fuel. on a motorway i regualrly got 33mpg,
in the end the chassis rotted away, so i flogged the engne on, and as far as i know its still on the road. and that musthave over 400000 on it by now. all you have to do is look after them. and the older P6b motor was teh best they ever produced.no gizmos to go wrong, just 200 horsepower.and real 4star petrol..
Depends on how the driver drives the vehicle, how well they take care of it, etc etc. Every engine is different.
Most engines should do about 200,000 if well serviced and looked after before they give out.
upto 200 if you drive carefully or do what my friend did put a gas convertion on then get 400 miles on a full tank. lpg is the future.
