destination = Lancaster Co... so that's not an issue.

 

Doesn't running the tank so low risk damaging the fuel pump. I've been led to believe you shouldn't run the tank much below a quarter to avoid overheating the pump.

 

Yep, shocking...

 

Wha??? over how many miles? I could get mine to show 50MPG if I reset while going down hill.. LOL

 

Photgraphic Evidence
7.7L/100kms, nice. Averaged 90km/h Over 640kms Still more than 1/4 tank left Don't quite believe the range, but still that suggests over 1000kms is possible And here in mpg

 

amazing Cambo.... any special technique?

 

US or Imperial Gallon in OZ?

 

Cambo, you know that's no fair! We can't have diesel over here!!! Hahaha

That's amazing numbers though!!!

@rsmartin, I call that "myth" (take that with a grain of salt though)

 

What diesel? That was the XJR...

It's a UK spec car

Yep...

A/C off, and drive with one eye on the road, one eye on the instant fuel consumption. To be honest it was not a fun trip, but it was an interesting exercise...

 

SHISK Cambo!!! I'm gonna try to get 35mpg on my next trip. I usually do the "1 eye exercise" too, but your workout tolerance is better than mine! Hahaha

 

I just did a 450 mile trip and averaged 28.6 mpg. 120 miles of the tip was on hilly country mountain roads and another part was in bumper to bumper traffic that took 2.5 hours to go 15 miles the rest was freeway doing 75. Considering the 120 miles of very hilly country roads and 2.5 hours of stop and go traffic I thought the 28.6 was pretty damn good for a full size sedan. I figure that on the freeway at 75 mph it had to be getting north of 30 mpg. When I got home the fuel counter said I still had 165 miles left.

 

So if in Imperial, that's 30.4 US MPG, correct?

I get 23 in the XJR pretty much all the time in combined driving.

I wish I could get better mileage in my XJR, but I can't help drive it like I did my prior two 911s. I usually average 18.x, which is a lot of suburban driving averaging 25-35 mph.

 

challenge accepted! I will give it a go to see what my cat can do.

 

Those pics were from a few years back, since I changed the catalysts and had a tune done it's even better on the open road.

Haven't done a long trip in a while but the 20km trip down the motorway at 110kmh to the city I see 6.5l/100km, which is pretty good I think.

What's that? 36mpg US?

 

Mine gets 30mpg highway and 23 combined. It helps to engage cruise control wherever possible and practice hybrid car techniques such as 'pulse and glide'. Before I got my Prius daily commuter I averaged barely 20mpg combined, could not resist mashing the gas pedal every chance I got, still hard to resist every time i get into the Jag.

I have yet to go on a long distance trip, but I regularly drive from Ft Lauderdale to West Palm and get 33mpg since I drive at 70mph.

 

Hi there
shocking mpg
I may have to change my fuel filter after all
2003 xj8 4,2l swb 337000km approx 207000miles lights music and climate on sunroof tilted


This happened on a very relaxing trip to Amsterdam ,alone for 500km with constant 100km/h after refill with 98 oct trough the night

 

"
P.S. BTW nearest Pure fuel gas station to me is 40 miles away. Not one single pure gas place in the whole of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex."

No Buck-ee's near you?

 

What does that mean ? Never heard !
tell me . I always like to try what's possible and get my cars used to that way of travelling . It's very revarding , relax driving in my davenport more smies by gallon
