Re: milage on xj
Not according to the mileage computer. If I am coasting down a hill at 70
mph and I reset the mileage computer it will display 99.9 until of course I put my foot on the pedal. In reality I get about 18mpg in mixed driving according to the computer. 13 when towing. I have been recording the quantity of fuel at every fillup so I could give a very accurate mileage figure if I ever get around to adding up the figures. When I do I will post them. 6.0L deisel.
