S type diesel mpg
Discussion
Seems normal for urban driving - the Fuelly website suggests that the S type is capable of up to 40mpg in some cases, but that’s obviously more motorways than town driving.
I have the 3.0 in my car and I rarely see 25mpg if I just drive locally, it usually takes ~10 miles of A roads just to get to 40mpg, so whilst 22mpg is a bit annoying, it doesn’t suggest anything is wrong with the car.
With regard to improvement, you could start cheap with a bottle of diesel injector cleaner, about £10, didn’t do any harm to my car, but no noticeable benefit either. Long term you should look at a remap, if you’re keen on keeping diesel, otherwise you may find that a petrol returns the same mpg round town, but costs slightly less to fill.

TBH, that statement means nothing. You need to include the duration you’re driving for and weather there are any hills to go up or down. Diesels in the winter can can take 10 miles to warm up, during which they will drink fuel. Gassing Station | Jaguar | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
