Sounds about right to me.
If it makes you feel any better the supercharged versions fare substantially less well :-)
As mentioned, the weight of the car is a real penalty in city driving. Lots of energy needed to get the old girl rolling over and over again in stop-n-go traffic

Yeah, I guess it is pretty much what you should expect, it's just that I never paid much attention to it before. Although I've had the car for 5 years it was never my daily driver until recently when I retired my 17 year old Buick Park Avenue. (It still ran great, but was rusting badly.)
Thanks for the responses.

On a recent week long holiday (a day of driving to get there, pootling around town most days and then a day driving back again, via the JEC International Jaguar Weekend) I got 26 mpg (UK) / 21.5 mpg (US) out of a couple of tank-fulls.
I think my worst tank average was 19 mpg (UK) / 16 mpg (US) but we had left it idling quite a bit trying to diagnose a dodgy fuel pump.

Sounds a bit on the high-side for hwy from my experiece. 24 is the best I've done on Strictly highway. My commute is about 50% highway and I get 20-21.5 depending on traffic and whether I idle a bunch - Kid school duty, maintenance or other such fragmetary orders as I may draw from time to time. I've never run an entire tank on city-only. I've put 60K + on it and the worst I've recorded is 18.1. Best 24.1. I used to average 21 1/2 but that has dropped about 1mpg with all the road-works on my commute.
