22mpg (is that US gallons?) is pretty darn good 'average'. I assume it is a manual (standard) transmission also?

I used to get 24.x mpg before Jaguar replaced my drive shaft.

Immediately after they replaced the drive shaft, I dropped to 18.x mpg.

I am now back up to 21.x mpg.

I have a 2005 3.0L.

25-27mpg mixed driving (mostly my 2 mile to work commute)
30mpg if I go on a long highway trip and keep it set at about 75mph.

2.5 Manual

Oh and before someone says I'm being too optimistic the mileage for the other vehicles I own.

TVR- 10-14mpg
CB175 60-65mpg
XJR for 200 miles was 17.5

With my X, I get about 16 mpg in town and cruising at 70-75 mph, I get about 25 mpg. Put your foot into the gas and you can easily see 4 mpg. Not that I have ever....... My car is a 3.0L motor with an auto tranny.

2002 2.5 auto - just completed a 1500 mile round trip, a lot of interstate but a good deal of crowded two lane and lots of construction delays, averaged 23.4 mpg. Lots of 80mph+ and WOT passing on hilly highways. Usual commute loop is 19.9mpg.

Made an 8 hour run across Western North Dakota and Eastern Montana yesterday, all with cruise control set at 75mph (120 kmph), average altitude 2500 ft. average temperature 92f (33C), ait-conditioner on the whole way, no load other than self and passenger, and averaged 24.56 mpg !!!

It's a 2002 2.5 X-Type auto with 55k on the odometer, and it did indeed purr like a kitten the entire run. I only romped on the pedal once - to 90 mph - to get out of a "bind" with a couple of oilfield and cattle-truck drivers, but used no more than a dime's worth of gas for that I am guessing.

Am pretty sure that I am running the original spark plugs, and should be able to bump up the milage a bit when replaced.

For some strange reason, there were a gob of Corvettes on the freeway yesterday. Just about each and every one gave an approving "nod" to the Jag, as did the State Trooper that threw me a glance - as he was writing up a ticket for some poor slob - that I read as "Gee, if I had just waited 5 minutes I could have written up a Jaguar!".
