2.2D Long Term Average Fuel Consumption

[Gemset Mod]

Have any 2.2D owners managed to get anywhere near the official 50mpg yet? I accept that most engines will still be tight if they are anything like the 3.0D which takes about 10000 miles to loosen up.

I am getting about 35 ave, I have been mainly around town tho but normaly live on the motorway. Next week I will be back to normal. Car has done 330 miles in the first 7 days.

I will hit 1,000 miles on the way home tonight, I am regularly seeing low 40's the highest I have seen in any journey is 45, but that was using cruise control on the motorway at 85mph

See my blog as I am keeping a log of how the MPG is developing

I have manager 52.2 mpg on a run from Glasgow to Ullapool and back, this figure was over a 500 mile round trip, and on the B setting my averaged was 48mpg over 2,300 miles, don't have the B setting to show as the recent software update cleared the figures.
So it is possible you just have to be light on the right foot.

Never ceases to amaze me that a large, heavy, powerful luxury car can get more mpg than a 2CV used to

Isn't progress a marvellous thing

Will,
that seems remarkable for that trip. I take it you let cruise do most of the work; no foot down off the bends or too much overtaking. How did you go? Loch Lomond, the Moor, the Coe and Fort William I presume. Did you go all the way up the G.G. to Inverness or cut across the A823? Either way it's a great run for the Jag. Lucky so and so.

No Fencer, This time took the Perth road and the A9 up to Inverness, then to Stathpeffer and on to Ullapool, also run around to Fort George and along the banks of the Moray Firth and the black isle plus a few other places before returning the same way, as you know 60mph on the A9 and that helped the fuel consumption but had to use the right foot on a few occasions for overtaking and kept it at the legal limit which is hard to do in this car from Perth back to Hamilton.
Thats my car covered 3,000 miles now and I have loved every mile, just something about this car that brings a smile to my face, I cant compare it to the V6 XF as this is the first Jaguar I have owned, but the 2.2d is good enough for me.

I'm getting about 42mpg at the moment, that's with a mix of (mostly) cruise-controlled dual carriageway and some more energetic A/B-road driving.

It'll be interesting to see how it changes over the first few thousand miles - only done 400 miles so far

I've now done 1600 miles and only getting 36mpg, but that's a lot of motorway cruising at high speed and fast country lanes with a few bends so braking & accelerating, I just don't have your self discipline will, although I have stopped using sport around the country lanes

[Alby]

Done just over 650 miles now and the best I have achieved so far is 44.9 mostly motorway miles.
