I'v been looking at alot of internet pictures and descriptions on the XK base cars and normally every one of the 06-09 cars that show the OEM sticker, I'v seen 25 mpg hwy ratings. But I ran into this one with a 27mpg hwy rating. Is that an EPA recalculating of the figures or some equipment difference in this particular model's drive train? Must be a simple answer to this! Thanks

Or just an interesting interpretation of actual values.
Besides, nearly nobody who buys an XK gives a hoot about fuel mileage.
That car is a heap, needs a repaint, interior work, wheel refurb and probably every imaginable service. I'm surprised it still moves by itself.

 

The BaT listing will soon disappear but this thread stays forever. As the title is Factory window sticker question MPG rating, best to preserve an image of it.





Fuel consumption and performance figures are obtained under contrived circumstances rather than a reflection of real World results. The only justification is this gives a method of directly comparing vehicles but that doesn't make it any less of a fiction.

Fwiw, I get exceptional mileage… the months I don’t drive her. Of course, that’s not very much fun.
Cheers!

 

Appreciating that the US gallon s 17% smaller than imperial I've had 32 MPG from my 2014 5.0, that is driven at silly o'clock in the mornings on a 350 mile return trip with cruise engaged most of the way at 73mph*

Would work out to over 26MPG stateside, I only guessed trigger was due to your BaT reference

* As has been said not a lot of fun, but LOTS of speed cameras!

 

Interesting, the 2008 XK I had was 16/25...

 

Just to add to the mix, the original press release for the X150 XK launch had this in it:

City EPA – mpg 18.0
Highway EPA – mpg 26.0
Combined EPA – mpg 24.0

The press release for the 2008MY had this:
EPA Fuel Economy (mpg) 16 city / 25 highway

 

Here's mine....
