Fuel consumption
I have the 340bhp V6 and would expect that. if anything, you could improve on that figure slightly. Over all sorts of running my fuel mileage varies between mid twenties to high thirties. I wouldn't expect the 380bhp to be any different under normal steady driving.
2017MY F Type Coupe, Caldera Red, 19 Centrifuges, Pan Roof, Leather memory heated seats, Parking pack. Also 1957 XK150 FHC.
I have the v6 400. I commute to our office twice a week. Generally traffic, cold start, drop kid at school, into a city and I get low 20's on a 13 mile run.
I had to go to Cambridge and tried an economy run, 60-65 on motorway (spoiler never deployed), kept under 2000rpm and I was going to get around 38-39mpg until I hit traffic and got lost in tight bollard restricted streets and ended up with 35.9mpg as reported by the car and inControl app.
On the way I drove "normally" and got 32 and tend to get low-mid 30's on longer runs but I reckon you could break into very low 40's on a warm day, warm start, no air con and driving at lorry speeds.
Although you don't buy a 3L v6 or 5L v8 for economy!! However I had a 2L 300bhp Golf R before and that would only do mid-high 30's on longer runs so for 3L v6 to be doing something similar is quite remarkable I think especially as it weighs more! The 8th gear does help significantly I think.

Where there is a recorded 45.2mpg on a v6S/400. That must of been a fun drive! NOT.

I also have a 400. Have managed mid to high 30s on a steady motorway drive, in comfort mode. It wasn't at all fun, but a good test of what is possible.
Generally, if I drive at 80-85mph in dynamic mode on motorway with the occasional burst of power for overtakes, I can still achieve 30ish mpg.
I didn't buy this car for fuel economy. I bought it to put a smile on my face. And it certainly does that.

V6 getting 21 on daily commute with plenty of traffic.
Have managed a pretty impressive economy on a trip from M3 around to Brands Hatch - but at 56-60 with spoiler down - and I swear the Sottozero gave me better mileage than the PS4s do.
Note: this was real egg under the throttle foot stuff and anticipation. Not a game I want to be known for winning
In my defence I was early for a meeting and only getting 20p a mile mileage payment.

I have a V6 S and it will do 36-39 mpg on a good run. Around town it's about 23-24. But depends how heavy your right foot is!

I have the v8 & get around 23mpg. but who cares the sound & acceleration is so mental that I do not care about fuel. I used to have a r33 gtr vspec with programmable ecu which did around 9 to 14 to the gallon. Never bothered me. Just drive & fill up when empty.

That is motorway where there are plenty of speed cameras! Plus assuming "good" flow of traffic. Not ideal proper F Type driving conditions!
I also drive an E Type V12 OTS and I'm lucky if I get 12 MPG!
