2004 X-type purchased yesterday
I justpurchased a2004 x-type yesterday. It's in Ultraviolet Metallic & I LOVE it! I'm an elementary school teacher, so I feel like slapping on a bumper sticker that says "Costs the same as a Camry" but that'll ruin my car.
Unfortunately I got jerked around by the dealership, I dealt with 3 different people and each one went back on what he told me originally, but I had to deal with them because I wanted this car. So, I have a question: Do I really need to use premium gas? The dealers said no, but I don't know if I should believe them or they were just trying to sell me the car.

Yup.
I would and I do.
Any car will run better/smoother on a higher octane gas.
Mine seems to prefer Exxon... don't know why?
X-types are nice rides, I like the mid 2000's.

speaking as a Jaguar Technician
sorry to hear of the mishaps at the dealership
dont let the sales department ruin you idea of the delership as a whole
the service department is where you want to make your judgement of the dealer as a whole
and im not just saying that because im a jag service tech either lol
but seriously congrats on your new car

CONGRATS 
the dealer was probably just telling you what they thought you wanted to hear in order to sell you the car; if the manual says use premium: use premium.

+1 on using the premium gas. You get better gas mileage with the higher octane gas anyways...so it pays for itself in a way.

Welcome and enjoy your new Jag. I am not a Jag expert at all but I have learned a little along the way. I'm not sure about the compression ratio on your 04 X-type but I can tell you on my '97 XK8 it is 10.8:1. Most cars are around 8:1. Use premium. Here is a link that might help explain; http://science.howstuffworks.com/gasoline3.htm
Good luck andforget about dealers, gas and co-workers, push the gas pedal and ENJOY......

Thanks. I suspected that the salesmen were just saying that because gas is at an all time high. I'm glad I asked because I don't want to mess up my ride. I also got the run around with a few other things with them. Sometimes I think they don't know how to talk to a woman. Lucky for them Jaguars practically sell themselves since they're such hot looking cars.
