my 850 is manual, and mileage is 196000, so the engine not too bad.

I'm getting 27 mpg, but I'm getting new tires tomorrow which may help a bit. The EPA window sticker (price sticker here in the colonies) stated a highway mpg of 28mpg.

Sounds good that mate

Thats the only problem with the T5 I think, its just so juicy, its on par with my last Jag give or take a few mpg and that was a 4 litre, still it makes up for it in other ways i suppose, my auto T5 used to get about 18 mpg round town and about 24 on a run, severe drinking problem lol
