A
Jaguar XJ, fitted with a twin-turbo V6
diesel engine, drove a total of 1000.2 miles before running the 22.45 gal tank dry. The car recorded an average
fuel economy of 44.38 mpg, a number that would put many a gasoline powered sub-compact to shame. Even a few
hybrids would be hard pressed to achieve this kind of gas mileage during highway driving. The combination of the advanced diesel engine with the lightweight aluminum body of the
XJ made the journey possible. The driver effectively drove the length of the UK, after which he headed back to
Jaguars HQ in Birmingham. I wonder if it would run just as well on
biodiesel.
