Land Rover Discovery Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2003 4dr SUV 217-horsepower 4.6L V8
4-speed automatic AWD w/low range		 Dismal, especially considering the interior capacity of the vehicle. see full Land Rover Discovery review
2003 4dr SUV 217-horsepower 4.6L V8
4-speed automatic AWD w/low range		 What IS there to like about 16 mpg using $3.30/gal premium fuel? see full Land Rover Discovery review
2000 4dr SUV 188-horsepower 4.0L V8
4-speed automatic AWD w/low range		 Well its terrible, I get 11-13miles, maybe a little more on the highway with cruise control and minimal braking. Absolutely terrible. Worse than a hummer. Better at offroading than a hummer though! see full Land Rover Discovery review

Mercedes-Benz SL Real Gas Mileage: Pros

2006 2dr Hardtop conv. supercharged 493hp 5.4L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Awful! Big V-8 gets approximately 14 mpg, if I'm lucky! see full Mercedes-Benz SL review
Mercedes-Benz SL Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2002 2dr Hardtop conv. 302-horsepower 5.0L V8
5-speed automatic RWD		 Not great. I averaged about 16mpg in around town driving, about 22 on the freeways. Best mileage observed was in Wyoming, 24.5, coming downhill eastbound from the Grand Tetons. that said, people shouldn't buy this car expecting a Miata, in any way other than Two Doors and a Convertible Top. see full Mercedes-Benz SL review
