There were people complaining of CEL comming on with the K&N filter as well. Do a search on the net an you''''ll find plenty of feedback not jag cars, but still.
I agree with hlgeorge, the car has plenty of power as it is. Funny storry: After driving the xj8 for 3 weeks, I was getting ready to sell my Hyundai Elantra. When I drove to the gass station to fill the tank, I tought the poor thing was broken: it was completely lacking any acceleration compered with the xj. I know the Hyundai has the horespower of an ox cart, but still the difference was shocking.
As s point of reference I''''m getting a little above 22MPG in daily commute traffic (avg. speed 28 MPH :-( ). Cruising is prety good 28-30. I find it funny that the car does better MPG when cruising at 70-75 Mph compared with 55-60 Mph. Overall I''''m very impressed with the mileage. My wife''''s Acura MDX is doing 17 MPG and it has a V6 (it''''s much heavier tough).
