3.0 s type mpg?

[R6RY D]

just wonder does anybody else hear have a 3.0 auto stype, if so how many miles are you getting from a tank?

I had a 2001 SE; it averaged about 26mpg with just over 30mpg on a long run.

Best i get is 32mpg on a very long run

What does the s-type 4.2 supercharger make on a very long run i wonder ?

[R6RY D]

On my weekly commute I am getting 230-250 from brimmed to fuel light on!
It seems a bit low, but my journey is quite stop start,

More accurate to use mpg - the trip computer tells you. You can then compare different cars as well.

My 4.2 non s/c will drop to low 20's knocking around town but easily breaks 30 on longer runs. Took this pic in France, not sure you can see but range after fill up is 399 and at European motorway speeds, it's not exactly working hard!

My STR averages 24 mpg with mostly motorway commuting but I've seen close to 30 mpg on a longer motorway run

Hi there , I've got a September 2002 S type 3.0SE Auto ,had it since nearly new , its' now done nearly 176,000 miles .

Apart form normal consumables the only replacements so far are , header tank , water pump , wiper rack . Whilst not a racer it has proved comfortable and relaible over a significant mileage.

Average MPG over the last 9000 miles is 29.4mpg

Out of interest, has the autobox oil ever been changed?

[PBM3]

No , the autobox oil hasn't been changed , I have considered it given that in it's younger days I did use the car to tow a 20ft boat with large outboard , however the box is still smooth and predictable so have just left it alone .

Servicing was undertaken every 10,000 miles by a fantastic Jaguar Main Dealer in Farnham until the car had reached 110,000 . Since then it's been serviced every 20,000 miles by a local non-franchised .

Exhaust , battery , shockers ,etc are all original . It's always been hand washed and regularly polished ( Autoglym Super Resin ) , so still looks pretty fresh .

I was dubious about having a Jag when I first got it , bit the car has grown on me , and it's realiability has been awesome .

Would I have another Jag Waar ? Absolutely YES ( and I'm not over 70 !!! )
