Hi Guys I have today become the proud owner (or should i say my wife as lol) of a 2006 55 plate XF convertable, its blue with 61000 miles full service history all the toys must have been the cheapest one in the country at 4500 quid.
cant wait to have a bit of sunshine and hit the roads


any idea what sort of MPG i should expect not that im to worried otherwise i would have bought a diesel Cosra lol

Highway should be 25 - 30 MPG depending on speed.

 

Congrats on the purchase! You should get 7.8 to 9.5 l/100 km or so on the highway and depending how much you put your foot into the gas.

 

Nice ride and welcome to the forum ,, Enjoy ...

 

Yep, same info I gave, but he did ask for MPG .......

 

Oops, you are correct. I thought MPG rates were different though in the UK as their traditional gallon is slightly bigger than ours. Perhaps one of our UK members can set me straight.

 

How about a US member with Google.. LOL.
One imperial gallon is approximately equal to 1.201 U.S. gallons.
One imperial gallon is exactly 4.54609 litres, whereas one U.S. gallon is exactly 3.7854118 liters.

Congrats on the convertable. Just an fyi.. just read last night about trunk lock safety interface while raising and lowering the top.. might REALLY want to do a search and look into this..

 

Get the roof down asap as it def drives better I get 22 to 31mpg depending where I'm going and how heavy my foot is - doesn't seem to matter how hard I go over 10miles to work still can't get it below the 22
