The real challenge is to get the numbers as low as possible - that shows the car's not wasted on you!

Lots of leather and toys, and loads of noise!

I’ve recorded (ok, the Jaguar remote app has) almost 200 journeys in the last year and the best I’ve managed is 35.2mpg as mostly on motorway with average speed cameras at 50mph, worst is 10.3mpg and overall average is 23.4mpg. Seems ok to me for what it is.
I measure my consumption by the tank so my excesses are somewhat hidden! Best tank consumption: 20.67mpg, worst 12.04 with an overall average of 17.1mpg, but most of my journeys tend to be short after a cold start. Cold starts really kill fuel economy (if that's the right word for a V8!).

Just achieved 34.3 mpg average in an SVR with passenger and fully laden boot on a trip from home in the north of England to Eastern France, it included most types of roads, towns, cities and motorways, I kept within speed limits most of the time with the occasional heavy right foot to overtake.
The figures were averaging over 35mpg until I got lost in a city and navigated cobble roads to get out!
This last day the average has dropped slightly to around 32.8 mpg as we hit the steep and winding mountain roads.
