Fuel Economy Overview

The 1991 Land Rover Range Rover achieves an EPA-estimated 13 MPG in combined city and highway driving, with 11 MPG in the city and 15 MPG on the highway. Powered by a 3.9L 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 1991 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.

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

Campaign #95V155000·1995-11-30
critical
Component: FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE:TANK ASSEMBLY

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.

Campaign #91V222000·1992-03-03
advisory
Component: EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH

THE ELECTRICAL SWITCH ADJACENT TO THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH OPERATES THE BRAKE LAMPS MAY FAIL TO OPERATE.

Consequence & Remedy

Consequence: THE BRAKE LAMPS MAY FAIL TO WORK WHEN BRAKES ARE APPLIED,INCREASING THE RISK OF REAR-END COLLISION.

Remedy: REPLACE THE BRAKE LAMP SWITCH WITH AN IMPROVED VERSION.

Campaign #91V069000·1991-07-19
moderate
Component: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS

THE RIGHT REAR METAL BRAKE LINE COULD COME IN CONTACT WITH THE TOP OF THE RIGHT REAR SHOCK ABSORBER. THIS COULD LEAD TO AN EVENTUAL FLUID LEAK IN ONE OF THE TWO BRAKE CIRCUITS.

Consequence & Remedy

Consequence: THE LEAK OF FLUID FROM THE REAR METAL BRAKE LINE COULDCAUSE REDUCED BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS AND INCREASE STOPPING DISTANCE.

Remedy: REROUTE REAR METAL BRAKE LINES TO AVOID CONTACT WITH THE REAR SHOCK ABSORBER, AND REPLACE BRAKE LINES THAT HAVE CONTACTED THE SHOCK ABSORBERS.
