Day to day mpg on a vr ?
« on: 07 January 2013, 23:56 »
I've finally parted with my xj8 which was my weekend guzzler doing 18-20 mpg and really fancy a vr6 as just doesn't do it for me .


So before I take the plunge what's the vr like on fuel ?

I don't expect anything great but it won't drink like that v8 !

It was an impulse buy ... Went to an auction and bagged it for £895 ,  was classy and I work for a jag specialist so fixed it up nice but gee slow without the charger !

If I'm honest the consumption won't put me off the vr I've been after one for so long now and circumstances are right at the moment ,

Parkers said 30mpg , that's optimistic !
