Economy of scale
In response to RG of Petworth you state that the XF "is relatively economical". My 2.7 diesel XF is just two years old and on my last trip to St Andrews, Fife it returned 52mpg at an average 61mph. I reckon that's better than "relatively economical". I can endorse your recommendation to buy one.

That's astonishing. Clearly, you have a very sensitive right foot. (I thought I did surprisingly well to average 28mpg over 700 miles in the 500bhp XFR.)

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.
Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
