Thanks bro. I love the car so far, aside from it sucking gas AND having to put premium petrol in it... wish I could just put the cheap stuff in! HAHA

Anytime ! In fact, you should get 22-25 MPG or 10-12 liter on the highway unless you're dead footed .If so, it's a gas sucker as well lol

Do you know your car has a knock sensor ? If you have it you can still use regular . However w/ premium it runs much better

Hey Cory, welcome pal. To make it easier on yourself for the gas prices, just think of our Brittish friends that pay about $10 per gallon...

. I know I do it every other week when I have to pump gas. Beautiful ride, and very clean. Hope you enjoy the forum and hope to see you around.

RE: Hey there! New XJ owner

Thanks guys! This is my first British car. Ive owned Audis, BMWs, Saab, and Volvo... but never something like this... a much different engineering all together. So far, I like it!
Thanks for the warm welcomes, see you all around

Looks like a VDP to me. I used to own a 96 VDP - loved it! As I'm sure you've already figured out, that car excels from 80-110 mph....quiet, smooth, fierce. Enjoy the ride man!
