Hi All,
I have a similar query but with diesel. I quite liked the look of XF and because the car claims to give nearly 65 mpg ( mixed ) for 2.0 litre diesel Automatic, I bought one. I was pretty sure of getting 60 plus mpg because for 95% of the time I drive on Motorways with speed never exceeding 65-70 mph. I never accelerate too much and break gently ( and plan it where ever I can). For last 20 years of driving, i take immense pride in getting maximum possible fuel economy, sometimes 95% of what car companies claim :-)
However, this time around, 51 ltrs of diesel just gave me 560 miles which is close to, 45 miles per gallon, i suppose. For a motorway gentle drive, not sure what else could be done to increase my fuel efficiency. Jaguar claims that for extra urban, i should get 70mpg. I drive automatic and my car is sept 2016 XF model.
any thoughts ???

And the port
Depending on the mileage, it would be worth looking into having your intake valves/ports walnut shell blasted, which should be possible with the heads still on the engine.

I agree. We have an '09 XF, with the N/A 4.2 liter V-8. In town, 15-16 MPG is about what we're seeing. On the road, however, 26-27 MPG, depending on speed, is fairly normal.
