1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward: MPG and fuel economy

This page collects every fuel-economy figure the EPA publishes for the 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward. Below you will find the headline combined, city, and highway MPG, the estimated annual fuel cost at three different driving levels, the tailpipe CO₂ emissions, and a full breakdown of the engine and drivetrain. If you want to know whether this generation got more or less efficient over the years, the year-over-year table further down covers every model year the EPA has rated.

Fuel economy at a glance

These are the EPA's official ratings for the 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward. The numbers come from a standardised laboratory test cycle and are the same figures that appear on the window sticker of every new car. Real-world mileage varies with driving style, weather, fuel quality, and how heavily loaded the car is.

Combined MPG is a 55/45 weighted blend of the city and highway test cycles. The EPA uses it as the single number you can compare across the entire dataset, including hybrids and EVs (which use the equivalent MPGe figure).

How the 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward compares

The 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward returns 11 combined MPG. Cars in the Large Cars class for the same model year average 17.6 MPG, which puts this car behind the class average by about 38%.

The most efficient car in the Large Cars class for the 1999 model year is the Chrysler Concorde at 22 MPG. The bar chart below puts the Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward alongside the class best and the class average so you can see the full picture.

For broader context, the average new car of the 1999 model year (across all classes) returns 19.1 MPG. Larger vehicles pull the all-cars average down, so do not use that figure on its own to judge a small car or a hybrid. The full list of the most efficient cars of the 1999 model year is on its own page.

Annual fuel cost across driving patterns

The headline annual fuel cost the EPA publishes assumes 15,000 miles of driving per year and a fuel mix of 55% city and 45% highway. The dollar figure is calculated using the EPA's current reference price for premium gasoline, which is $4.61/gallon. EPA updates that reference periodically rather than tracking live pump prices, so treat it as a window-sticker estimate rather than today's pump number.

The table below scales the EPA's number to three common driving patterns. The combined MPG and the reference fuel price stay constant, only the annual mileage changes. To get a current-prices estimate, take your local gas price and multiply by 1363.6 gallons (the car's annual consumption at the rated MPG).

Specifications

The 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward runs a 6.8-liter 8-cylinder turbocharged engine paired with a automatic 4-spd, sending power through rear-wheel drive.

Engine, transmission, and drivetrain together drive most of the variation in fuel economy across trims. A larger engine moves the car with less effort but burns more fuel. A turbo lets a small engine punch above its weight, often without much MPG penalty. All-wheel drive adds traction and weight, and usually costs a couple of MPG compared with two-wheel drive of the same engine.

• Is the 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward fuel efficient?

  Not particularly. The 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward returns 11 combined MPG, which trails the average car in the Large Cars class for the same model year by about 38%.
• What MPG does the 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward get?

  The EPA rates the 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward at 11 combined MPG, 9 MPG in city driving, and 14 MPG on the highway. Real-world numbers depend on your driving style, the weather, and how loaded the car is.
• How much does it cost to fuel a 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward per year?

  The EPA estimates an annual fuel cost of $6,300 for the 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward. That figure assumes 15,000 miles of driving per year, a 55% city and 45% highway split, and the EPA's published average fuel price for the rated fuel grade.
• Does the 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward require premium gas?

  Yes. The EPA lists the 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward as requiring premium gasoline. Running it on regular can reduce performance and may affect engine warranties, so it is not a recommended way to save at the pump.
• How much CO₂ does the 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward emit?

  Tailpipe CO₂ emissions are 808 g/mi. Multiplied across a typical year of driving (15,000 miles) that works out to about 12,119 kilograms of CO₂.
• What is the difference between the city and highway MPG of the 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward?

  City driving returns 9 MPG and highway driving returns 14 MPG, a gap of 5 MPG. The two figures are close enough that the car will hold its rated efficiency well across most driving patterns.
• What engine is in the 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward?

  The 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward has a 6.8-liter 8-cylinder turbocharged engine (EPA description: L410MT2).
• What transmission and drivetrain does the 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward have?

  The 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward comes with a automatic 4-spd transmission and rear-wheel drive.
• How does the 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward compare to the best car in its class?

  The most efficient car in the Large Cars class for the 1999 model year is the Chrysler Concorde at 22 combined MPG. The Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward returns 11 MPG, a gap of 11 MPG. If you are comparing on fuel economy alone, the class leader is worth a look.
• Does the 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward qualify for the gas guzzler tax?

  Yes. The federal Gas Guzzler Tax applies to passenger cars rated below 22.5 combined MPG, and the 1999 Rolls-Royce Silver Spur Park Ward falls below that threshold. The tax is paid by the manufacturer at the point of sale and is built into the sticker price, so you will not see a separate line item at the dealership. Pickup trucks and SUVs are exempt from this tax even when their efficiency is lower.
