Something hugely wrong there. I have a 4LTR Auto XJ 1994 vintage and
39k miles on the clock. As I've only had it a few weeks I've been very
careful to log MPG. On last refill, it calculated out as 19mpg (UK
Gallons) which isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. With a
full caravan in tow, all the family and gear, I got 15mpg on a two
hundred mile round trip. Also, not as bad as I expected.

Re: Crappy gas mileage
I've been keep track of my mileage for a couple months now and the worst
I've gotten was about 15mpg (based on liter to gallon calculation).
The best I've gotten is 21.5mpg.
I wasn't doing so hot with mileage until, Mike Romain, I think described how
he doesn't use his OD (5th) gear at regular highway speeds.
I only use OD when I'm doing more than 120kph.
Like it's been said, don't drive it like a sports car....
