RE: gas savers?
Only had my Disco for a few weeks. Changed oil, Seafoam treatment with Mike's instructions, cleaned air filter. Those are the only mechanical things that I've done. Droveit home from New England to Norhtern Ky and got about 17 mpg. Only use 93 octane and am not an unusually fast driver. 80,000 miles , 01 Discovery Series 2 SE7, 4.0

RE: gas savers?
Will,
Pull a spark plug from each bank and check them for wear. If they look worn, I would put in a set of Bosch Plus 4 plugs and a set of Magnacor 8mm plug wires. If the plugs look good, I would still go for the plug wires cause the factory wires will long since be worn out.
I would also but a can of B&G's 44K gas additive to really cut the carbon.
By the way,17 MPG is not bad, good plugs and wires will give you a little more and that is all you can expect.

I agree with everthing here exceptI would go with plain old Champion coppers.Remember the Rover engine is an engine designed in the early 1960's by General Motors.
