Java V8 HSE on M62 Eastbound PE** ***
Going at a fair old lick up the hill to the summit, fuel consumption must have been substantial.
V8 70 - 90 mph is definitly quicker than a TDV6

8) I've heard rumours of a test between a RRS S/C and an RRS TDV8. S/C quicker to 60 but V8 got to 100 quicker.....Disco 5 HSE Lux

It's quicker only because it sheds so much weight through fuel use under acceleration. Thats why they dont bother so much with mpg more mpKg D3 HSE V8...

I bet 50-70 is much quicker for the TDV8 than the SC as the torque is much higher. I bet it does more than the 6mpg I got from the SC at Gaydon DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone
DS3 TDV6 HSE- Silver with Alpaca (new one) Gone
D4 HSE Lux - Montalcino Red Gone

V8 you dont want one unless you like throwing money away in fuel.
Had one for 3 weeks an auto HSE when they first came out
Your correct in the G factor but spent a furtune in fuel over 300 miles.i recollect around £200+
The diesel is fine although still a tad thirsty it makes sense
