The simple answer is, "No." And the older the car is, the more certain that "No" is to be.

If you ask about specific makes/models there are plenty of folks who can tell you what they get as far as fuel usage (it's never economical) in that given car.

 

Fuel economy is the last item to worry about. You will find many items of concern along the way. One of the most important items to look for is continued maintenance and if not already performed, a thorough vehicle inspection done by someone who knows these cars and specifically the model you are looking into. Remember, the seller wants to sell the car and will represent everything in a good light. Always buyer beware.

 

Truer words were never spoken than those offered by @Wraithman.

Anyone getting ready to step into the world of Rolls-Royce or Bentley as a complete neophyte should definitely get a pre-purchase inspection by a technician familiar with the model you're considering buying.

Not all technicians know about all models, and that's no surprise given how long the marques have been around and how many cars, relative to the number produced, still remain either truly on the road or available for rehabilitation (and the latter is not cheap).

You want to purchase the very best example that you can afford. Much like most people get home inspections prior to purchasing houses, it's worth the money for a pre-purchase inspection on these cars. None are likely to get a perfectly clean bill of health, and knowing what will be needing attention is valuable.

 

Marble,
To answer your question, if you are considering an SY (Silver Shadow) or SZ (Silver Spirit/Silver Spur) car, expect about 11-13 MPG in traffic. The V8's are thirsty and the cars are heavy (5,000 lbs+). I'm not sure about the later (Silver Seraph, Goodwood Phantom) cars but would expect only a small improvement.

 

I have ordered factory build sheets and they often come with the sales order from the submitting country. Mine show a sales order from RR North America to the factory with options and special requests and there are figures as well.

 

Fuel cost analysis and why it's a waste of time.
Fuel @ 3.75/gal Drive 2500 miles a year.
Fuel economy at 12 mpg will cost you 781.23
Fuel economy at 16 mpg will cost you 585.93
In the RR world $200 is not alot to worry about.

 

Thanks to everyone that contributed - I got a window sticker from "Detailed Vehicle History". I had access to the VIN number of the vehicle, so I got the window sticker replica. Here’s the link to the Bentley window sticker if you want to take a look: window Sticker link

If you're searching for a much newer modern car as the window sticker indicates, I had no doubt information this info would be a click away once it was searched.

 

my eyes are set on a Rolls-Royce and Bentley....what are the monthly costs you’d expect to have on fuel

If you need to worry about fuel mileage maybe you should consider a........?

Hey marabel, No offense but if you have to look a fuel cost , dont bother buying one, fuel cost is cheap !

 

This entire post is an elaborate scam by marble to advertise that Vin check website.

I’m sure if you search that website you’ll find it posted on other forums with new members asking “how do I get a window sticker “ then posting the site As if they just found it .

i fell victim to his scam .

I paid $29 to run a window sticker and vin report on my Rolls and it is garbage, it only list the base price with no options.

a much better website to obtain a window sticker for other cars is monroneylabels.com, but they also do not have the options your car was fitted with for a Rolls-Royce. At least they told me upfront before paying that they did not have the data

 

Curious whether newer Rolls-Royce models offer any kind of driver-accessible diagnostics or system data via the iDrive interface, especially for monitoring air suspension levels or active safety systems without a dealer visit

 

As for the actual Monroney window sticker, I was able to get one for my 4 year old Ghost from the selling RR dealer.
