I am getting 18 summer time/summer vacation. Mixed. Solid 22 FWY.
Engine is very sensitive to temperature. Winter time it drops down right on. 16.7 mixed. Still doing very well on FWY. I have Scangauge connected, so data are computerized, actually.
Now, just because it is gas mileage question, let me throw a tease in, he-he::gasp:
well, why don't we all go here:

and watch it. I had pleasure yesterday (very disappointed with Veyron's performance, but hey...)
Anyways, let me translate that race into the things we know:
they, actually, covered 819 miles, not 750(British mile is longer)
they refer to mpg on an imperial gallon, which is 1.2 US one. Basically, at their 70 mpg, you have 58 American mpgs.
Of course, kudos to Jeremy, doing his best trying to kill mpg on his Jag, he-he.
So, getting to my point:
12 cyl twin turbo Jag does 819 miles on a tank after 3/4 of the route gas guzzling driving? And still could go some, as it did not halt in Blackpool by itself, it still had some go-juice to go on
My question is: wdf is wrong with gas and cars in this country?
Even better - what kind of trickery they have imposed onto imports that, as soon as they are made for American market, they lose half of their European mpg in a click? I want to see same Jag, made for and sold here, do same!
And those cars were not even the best mpg ones. Brits have van that does 96mpg on imperial, VW has some car that does over a hundred miles.
