Only about 1-2mpg in my 4.0L XK8

But its not just about MPG. If you don't use it regularly the seals will dry out and cracks and leaks can result...


... and any saving you make in mpg will be blown away by repair costs!

Honestly can't notice any difference - apart from feeling like I'm sitting in a sauna!
