I checked Jaguar's claimed figures for the range and tabulated a comparison:
The P300 2.0 i4 is aimed at the buyer who wants the lowest running costs but I think the claimed 35.8 mpg has to be very optimistic. Certainly driving around the M5/M6 and Solihull/Birmingham area is not likley to give you anything like that even with Stop/Start and there will be plenty of that!

If you are buying a car in this price range and of this type I'm sure running costs are probably the last thing you're thinking about, bar road tax

We have the P300 since april 2018. Sofar we did 26.600km and an overall avarage fuel consumption of 8.2 L/100km. We acheived the official 7,9L/100km on a trip from the Netherlands to the Algarve and back, last october.
Must say we did a lot of roads around 80-120km/h , not much above 130km/h. So life-time avarage is 8.2 L /100 km = 34,45 imperial mile per gallon.. This includes 2 topspeed attempts [ 50 L/100km at 240km/h... ].
We did drive a lot in Germany but traffic is so dense around the centre and east of the country, you hardly get above 120km/h during daytime. I think we didn't spend more then 2 hours in total above 200km/h.

But my figure is almost identical to the official ones you posted. Maybe those are also UK gallons ?!
The P300 is not just for the cost minded. In some countries [ NL / EIR / PT / GR ] taxation by the 'green maffia' based on 'cult' CO2 pollution hysteria is staggaring. The only way to be able to buy a ICE car is to shed horsepower and tax-burden..
The price you pay for a P300 is the same amount we just pay in CO2 tax only on a P575... .. thieves..

I can STILL get lower lap times when the spirit strikes, though.

Drove 1000 miles from Houston to Denver to trade in my C7 Vette for F-Type R to drive back.
For the mostly freeway miles, The V8 Vette got 31 mpg (was in V4 mode most of the time, in Eco mode setting), while the V8 R got 28 mpg in dynamic mode.
For past 8000 miles, the R been 100% around town driving, so I didn't care about gas mileage since...
