Still, I like the fact that I can get 30 mpg at 75 mph if I feel like it!

you are quite right fuel consumption is not a concern otherwise I would have not taken that long trip this past summer 13,303 KM (8,266 Miles). Every mile was great fun, well almost except for the last 3,000 KM or so (1,864 Miles) driving wit 2 hairline cracks in one wheel was no fun at all What was your longest trip Memphis?

I know, sorry about that, then converting it is so easy

As for the truck, I don't need one I use my Jag, fold the back-seats down you be surprised how much I can haul with that babe. If I do need a truck my neighbor has one that he will let me drive anytime I need it, all I do is top up the tank

Ok, useful to some no doubt. How are the figures comparing to your real life experience though guys?
Last time I checked I think I was on 22.5 mpg - in a 23i... Apparently I should have bought a 35i for fuel efficiency gains lol |

About 6,000 KM into my vacation trip my consumption settled at 8.6 L / 100 KM and stayed there for the rest of the trip. Now I am back at 9.2 L / 100 KM back home for the past 7 weeks. I am happy with those results my Jag uses 14 L / 100 KM in comparison mostly city driving by my wife.

Did a quick conversion using WolframAlpha. Puts me down at 13L/100 apparently.
I suspect it must be all that hard driving us 23i'ers have do to to keep up |

Yes the Sport Mode will eat a bit more fuel for sure however, what fun it is and the sound from the exhaust

cuff me in the head if I'm imagiing it but I get better mileage in Sport mode than Normal when I set the cruise on the highway. Sport + is a different story though.
It must be the finer throttle response that does it in Sport vs Normal but I get around 32mpg on the highway and 27 or 28 in the city. I even had 36mpg for a couple of tankfuls when I was on Interstates on the last big trip. Sport + gives me around 23 mpg but the throttle is pressed a lot harder... The Dinan remap did help the fuel economy....at least a couple of mpg anyway. The car is way more efficient wth the extra HP.
