SCM, i have got to agree, i am well impressed by the mpg returns that i am getting.
Admitted most of my journeys are long, mainly through europe and i have seen returns of 30-40mpg at 70+. These are averages, so slow around the Brussels & Luxembourg ring but flowing roads between.
Even the short hops over to visit my daughters in Antwerp sees returns 30mpg+.
I still have a classic RR 3.5efi vogue which im luck to see 10-12 from [4.2 one is slightly better!]
so well pleased with the jag, certainly overall on a long run
I'm intrigued to know what my V6 will do in that scenario. So far, I've been driving it like I stole it around Yorkshire's hills and bendy roads and fuel consumption has been a solid 21 mpg.

If you've been driving it like you stole it and only got it down to 21mpg, you're a very restrained thief!

Lots of leather and toys, and loads of noise!

An eco-friendly one!

Have you taken it along the A169 Pickering to Whitby, past Fylingdales?
Was up there a while back for a few days - my god that’s a great open bend road!
…and yes, you need to try harder
At the other end I’ve slipstreamed an hgv for about 100 miles on cruise (so before the spoiler deploys) and twice slowly edged to a decimal point over 50mpg!
Bloody mind numbingly boring and won’t be doing it again in a hurry but amazing all the same. What else comes close for the equivalent smiles per gallon ability?!

I'll be sure to add that to the list! I mostly cover the West and South Yorkshire area so between traffic, the elements and speed cameras, I get as much fun as possible and the car doesn't let you down.

Well don’t what I’m doing wrong, I have a p300 coupe and I struggle to 30 mpg! To and from work the best I get is 26 mpg 8mile journey, may as well have a V8
