WE went to Adelaide at Christmas ,travelled over 6,000k's and averaged 10L/100kms.
I was and still am pretty happy with the XRs fuel consumption, I would gladly swap some economy for "MORE POWER" ...............LOL

I expect it to improve once I replace the transmission with either the good auto transmission out of the XF I'm wrecking, or even better, get it converted to manual, as well as putting on a decent set of extractors and a good exhaust...

My speedo doesn't work at the moment, but at night I can see the black smoke pouring out the back in the headlights of the car behind me....I should tune it.

about 9lt/100km at the moment and thats with foot down (no fun in steady acceleration). Only do about 15-20kms a day most days. Ill do about 50-70kms at least 2 days of the week when i go to school on the other side of town.
I can go down the coast from here (about 170kms) on just under 1/4 of a tank of petrol so its great on the highway. Gotta love 4cyls :P |

I just drove into the city and back out for a job interview, covered 65kms and used about 7 litres of fuel, and yes, that was in the XF. Pretty happy with that. Works out to about 10l/100kms, not bad at all for an old 3 speed auto carbied 4.1L 6

BA XT I6 Auto. (SR) 65,000 on clock,
Drinks between 11.2-11.9 litres/100Km. I put about 60 litres (std ULP these days) in and that gives me 500km-ish. I do about 700-800Km a week, combination city traffic, freeway (read FAST!), and hilly mountains, and I got very heavy right boot at times. |

In the XF i get around 100kms/10litres on the highway (pretty impressive) but it really sucks around town. I'd say it would have to be atleast 100kms/15litres. The XY on the other hand. We worked out on the highway with 4.11's sittin on around 90k's it got about 14mile/gallon. Does anybody know what that is in km's to litres?
