What did you do to mostly aluminum Range Rover to make it rust out? I have seen a few rusted out Range Rovers or Range Rovers that were eaten apart by electrolysis but they are mostly early pre-1990 Classics that were seriously abused or abandoned. About a year ago I looked at a 1987 Classic with over 300,000 miles on it that had been left abandoned outside for over ten years. The bumpers, tailgate, floor pans and parts of the frame had rusted through.
The current diesel Range Rover already gets 25.5 mpg combined(19.6 city and 31.2 highway) on the UK cycle so blame California for not having a mid to upper 20s mpg Diesel Range Rover in the states. The current 3.6 liter TDV8 is pretty clean but it is no tier 2 bin 5 clean.
Also as mentioned before the next gen Range Rover is supposed to be aluminum so with a 1,000 plus pounds of weight savings that should get a diesel Range Rover well into the mid 30s highway.
