There is a lot to be said for the little 4 pot then. I can get between 450 / 500 miles on a full tank

I had, you do wonder how sometimes these super old threads get dragged up.
Anyway, to add some variation this is what mine usually averages around after a day when it's let out. 2 tanks normally used Not on a public road though!
I remember once seeing 2mpg on the readout of an xj-r I was driving at some speed so it doesn't seem that bad

Your just not trying hard enough. Single figures are easily achieved, with just a little more effort.

Motorway driving is generally north of 30 Mpg. Round town can be anything from 22 - 27. If you boot it, then don't bother looking...

On the ring, unless you're some kind of God/madman you will never drive the car as hard as on a smaller track you know well.
The average speed on the ring is also quite a lot higher I think compared to most tracks so must (beneficially) affect mpg also. (that may be total nonsense though, but it seems to make sense in my head, less braking and accelerating, bearing in mind the throttle is generally used WOT in both cases?).

I filled up the other day and the computer said I had a range of 232miles
Mine only seems to do around 19mpg but it's not used enough to worry about it.

Really depends on how you drive it. If you are having fun the s54 is a total pig. 20-25 mpg on average though.

Long cruise with a very disciplined right foot will head for 30mpg. General driving 23-25mpg, sustained spirited drive 17-21mpg.
Averaged 23.7mpg on 2500 mile Euro tour which included autobahn, 5 Swiss passes and Route Napoleon. My 3.0si averaged 26.6mpg on the NC500 and when driven spiritedly would return low 20s. One good aspect of the si was it could achieve 38mpg on a long very steady motorway cruise. We decided there wasn't that much of a difference between the twos' mpg so kept the M.
