[QUOTE=f6fhellcat13;869387]I expected about 20mpg (12l/100km) out of it because of its lightish weight for its class. But, I guess being a large luxury sedan with a big ole V8 at the front, it was never going to be great.[/QUOTE]
It's not that light. We're speaking about a 1750kg executive saloon, with an engine that's not exactly cutting edge and an automatic. Considering that with my driving the Mini is already at 10-11l/100km (24-21mpg), it's normal that the Jag is turning that sort of figures.
[QUOTE=clutch-monkey;869428]it'll get a little better as the engine is run in though, yeah?
i suspect it tempts you to drive it in a non-economic way all too often :D[/QUOTE]
Well it already has 12.000km, so I guess it's been already run in. Altough the non-economic driving temptation is there alright... :)

I think I confused it with the old XJ that was all aluminum. :o
Jag needs to start offering manuals again. Manuals can be luxurious with a little work, just make the gearchange extremely slick and make the clutch nice and light.

I personally think that a gear lever and three pedals would suit this car a lot.
