Hi everyone, Have had my XF sportbrake 2.3 (200bhp) for a few weeks now, and am generally very pleased with it. The main thing I am dissapointed with is the mpg. I am no boy racer, but I am struggling to get 45 overall, which is less than the claimed mpg for urban usage! I am also finding that when I fill the tank I cannot get as much in as I would have thought. For instance I ran the tank low - only 40 miles left according to the guage, but could only squeeze 55litres in, after it clicked out a few times. This in combination with the low mpg means that I get about 500 miles from a tank. I have made a big step up from a Passat (140bhp) but that did 53 to the gallon and had a range of over 700 on a tank. Any advice would be much appreciated. By the way, I have towed my caravan with the XF, and was pleased to get 33mpg when towing! Cheers! Fozzie
