No heard off him yet, but 60 odd is surely impossible. However when he’s finished we will see how far it is out which it looks like it must be, but I know for a fact it will do at least high 40s as for miss daisy there’s a person on here who has had a spin with me and I’m sure he will let you know that I know what’s brisk and what’s crawling :y he’s sticking to around 70/75 and it’s Around 1300RPM

Genuine high 40s *IS* my idea of Miss Daisy. Genuine 35mpg is being slow.  Sub 30mpg over a tank is entirely, easily possible without trying. Guess how I know ;D

With LPG, who cares :y.  Mind you, with any fuel, I don't care.

I remember a few years back, when testing something I'd done, putting £10 of petrol in the MV6, and managed less than 10 miles ;D. That was when petrol was about £5 a gallon.  Not sure I could average that low across a whole tank mind ;D

Right... just had the news, he’s just completed 560 miles, Carlisle/Leeds etc a little city driving too he’s has brimmed it and it took 49.79 Lts so it is known now that his recent journey mpg was 51MPG however the computer reads 57.6. So although that is amazing MPG for such a big comfortable car with all the toys..   the computer is 11% out!   I find that terrible for such a prestigious car Christ my Omega computer is by far more accurate than that :o

Yup, all Jags until very recently over estimate by some margin.  Mention it on a Jag forum, and they claim every marque has inaccurate computers ;D. Bless 'em.

51MPG is still very, very Miss Daisy. I hope you remind him regularly ;D


Thanks for the info :y

Can you ask him if its the half fat 235bhp or full fat 275bhp (pre chipping)?

Although JLR state same economy, I wonder if there is a difference.

So same lump as mine, except the chipping, although I'm ratio challenged being slightly older.  I don't think that will dramatically impact MPG, just the availability of suitable cogs in the middle.

In top gear? No idea, because at 70ish, the car should be in 3rd gear ;)

I don't think top gear ratio is massively different between the 6/8 speeds, would have to look it up to confirm.
