However I will check the jaguar 4.4 debate to take some information. Thank you for reply. About diesel...My opinion is... If I take a big car, with big Fuel consuption, I prefer choose gasoline engine converted because I can save money compared to diesel. In Italy there are little difference of price between diesel and gasoline.

Because of its size and V8 engine, its fuel consumption is relatively high compared to smaller vehicles. Factory figures indicate that in city driving, the Discovery 3 V8 consumes around 20.9 L/100 km (roughly 11 mpg US / 13.5 mpg UK). This higher consumption is due to stop-and-go traffic, heavier acceleration, and the SUV’s weight. On the highway or extra‑urban driving, fuel efficiency improves significantly. The Discovery 3 V8 uses about 11.6 L/100 km (around 20 mpg US / 24 mpg UK) under steady driving conditions. This is because cruising at constant speeds allows the engine to operate more efficiently, reducing fuel use compared to urban driving. The combined or average fuel consumption is approximately 15 L/100 km (about 15.7 mpg US / 18.8 mpg UK). Real-world figures may vary depending on driving style, road conditions, and vehicle maintenance, with many owners reporting 14–18 mpg (17–26 L/100 km) in everyday driving situations. Overall, the Discovery 3 V8 delivers strong performance and off-road capability, but drivers should be prepared for high fuel consumption, especially in city conditions or when driving aggressively. Regular maintenance and careful driving can help manage fuel costs over time.
