1988 Land Rover Range Rover
Fuel Economy Overview
The 1988 Land Rover Range Rover achieves an EPA-estimated 13 MPG in combined city and highway driving, with 13 MPG in the city and 13 MPG on the highway. Powered by a 3.5L 8-cylinder engine paired with a automatic 4-spd, this special purpose vehicles features 4-Wheel or All-Wheel Drive drive.
In terms of environmental impact, the 1988 Range Rover produces approximately 684 grams of CO2 per mile. This figure is measured under standardized EPA test conditions and represents tailpipe emissions only. For context, the average new vehicle sold in the United States produces approximately 400 grams of CO2 per mile, meaning this Range Rover has higher-than-average emissions in this regard.
The estimated annual fuel cost for this vehicle is $5,300, based on 15,000 miles of driving per year and current national average fuel prices. Compared to the average new vehicle, you would save $15,750 over a 5-year period. This calculation accounts for differences in fuel consumption efficiency and provides a practical measure of long-term ownership costs attributable to fuel economy.

Personalized Commute CalculatorEPA defaults to 55% City / 45% Hwy
Adjust the slider to match your daily driving habits. City driving involves stop-and-go traffic under 45mph, while highway driving represents sustained speeds over 55mph.
Aerodynamic Speed Penalty
EPA highway tests average roughly 48 mph. Driving at 75 mph increases aerodynamic drag exponentially. Expect your real-world highway fuel economy to drop by roughly 15-20% at interstate speeds.

Recall Intelligence
THE BOTTOM OF THE FUEL TANK CAN CORRODE OVER TIME ALLOWING FUEL TO LEAK.
Consequence & Remedy
Consequence: FUEL LEAKAGE CAN OCCUR INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE FIRE.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE FUEL TANK AND REPLACE THE TANK IF NEEDED.
INCORRECT INSTALLATION OF A CIRCLIP HOLDING THE BRAKE PEDAL PIVOT SHAFT COULD ALLOW THE CIRCLIP TO DISENGAGE AND THE PIVOT SHAFT TO MOVE ENOUGH FOR THE BRAKE PEDAL TO MOVE FROM ITS DESIGNED POSITION.
Consequence & Remedy
Consequence: ALTHOUGH FULL BRAKING ACTION CAN STILL BE OBTAINED,DRIVER ALARM FROM THE INCORRECTLY POSITIONED PEDAL COULD RESULT IN ANINAPPROPRIATE ACTION BY THE DRIVER WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
Remedy: REPAIR CIRCLIP INSTALLATION TO PREVENT ITS DISENGAGEMENT.
INFLATION PRESSURE RECOMMENDED FOR REAR WHEELS WILL NOT SUPPORT REAR GAWR.
Consequence & Remedy
Consequence: VEHICLES WOULD NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS 120.
Remedy: SEND NOTIFICATION LETTER WITH A REVISED TIRE PLACARD INDICATING APPROPRIATE TIRE INFLATION PRESSURES.
CORROSION COULD OCCUR BETWEEN THE FUEL FILTER AND ITS RETAINING BRACKET.
Consequence & Remedy
Consequence: THIS COULD RESULT IN PERFORATION OF THE FILTER CASINGAND FUEL LEAKAGE WITH POTENTIAL FOR A FIRE.
Remedy: INSTALL MODIFIED FUEL FILTER BRACKET.
A NYLON PIVOT PIN IN THE SEAT BELT RETRACTOR LOCK MECHANISM MAY BE TOO LARGE IN DIAMETER.
Consequence & Remedy
Consequence: THE NYLON MATERIAL SWELLS IN THE PRESENCE OF ATMOSPHEREHUMIDITY AND CAN RESTRICT MOVEMENT OF A LOCKING PAWL WHICH ACTIVATES THE BELTLOCKING MECHANISM.
Remedy: INSPECTION OF ALL VEHICLES AND REPLACE ANY SUSPECT BELT ASSEMBLY.
