Yup.
I would and I do.
Any car will run better/smoother on a higher octane gas.
Mine seems to prefer Exxon... don't know why?

X-types are nice rides, I like the mid 2000's.

Welcome to the forum.

if it says use premium fuel which it does
then me personally would and do
speaking as a Jaguar Technician
sorry to hear of the mishaps at the dealership
dont let the sales department ruin you idea of the delership as a whole
the service department is where you want to make your judgement of the dealer as a whole
and im not just saying that because im a jag service tech either lol
but seriously congrats on your new car
enjoy it
as a teacher you deserve it:-)

CONGRATS

the dealer was probably just telling you what they thought you wanted to hear in order to sell you the car; if the manual says use premium: use premium.

Welcome to the forum and enjoy your new Jag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

+1 on using the premium gas. You get better gas mileage with the higher octane gas anyways...so it pays for itself in a way.

Welcome and enjoy your new Jag. I am not a Jag expert at all but I have learned a little along the way. I'm not sure about the compression ratio on your 04 X-type but I can tell you on my '97 XK8 it is 10.8:1. Most cars are around 8:1. Use premium. Here is a link that might help explain; http://science.howstuffworks.com/gasoline3.htm

Good luck andforget about dealers, gas and co-workers, push the gas pedal and ENJOY......

between reg. & premium
