Jag does UK tour on one tank

Apr 28, 2006 1 Replies

A Jaguar XJ saloon has travelled the length of the UK on just one tank of fuel - and then went on to top 1,000 miles in total. The luxury XJ TDVi completed the trip from John O'Groat's to Land's End, a distance of 840 miles, with the average fuel consumption of 53.5 mpg. Having reached Land's End the driver headed back to Jaguars Midlands HQ without refuelling and reached a total of 1000.2 miles before the tank ran dry. Jaguar claim the achievement is testament to the XJ's technological strengths, which include advanced aluminium body construction and a state-of-the-art, twin-turbocharged V6 diesel engine.


I've known several Jags capable of doing the same thing......

.....half the time driving under their own power and half the time on the hook behind a wrecker.

Thanks, in no small part, to the "Prince of Darkness" - Lucas electricals.
