Jaguar XF diesel goes across America with just four fuel stops

respect. but anyway... cool jag still means petrol V8 (IMO).

Rudolf would indeed be proud .

Why are people wasting their money on hybrid technology again?

Sooo, driven economically, it will consume as much as a dieasel vehicle, driven economically?!? Well, thats news...

Enters Ferdinand Piech, with the VW XL1, chomping at the bit to have a go at this road trip with just 2 fuel stops. Jokes aside, diesel tech still makes an invaluable point right now.

Why not a diesel plug in hybrid. All it takes is a little Burp in the middle east and gas could be $8-$10/gallon like it is so many other places.

Hybrids...? Just dust to consumer eyes. Ok in comparing to similar cars, with similar engines and performance, Hybrid could make the difference if drived correctly. But "in The Real World", and in terms of engineering, how could a Hybrid be considered efficient, if it has two engines to do the same? Do you all know that in the life time cylce, wich includes construction and desmantalation, that those cars are even pollutant than, lets say "normal cars". My point is, this kind of cars, like this Jag, and what BMW is doing with the Efficient Dynamics, or like the VW with their Bluemotion, that's engineering with real and proved results on fuel economy and less CO2 emissions. Well done Jag!

I would like to know the average speed and also the size of the fuel tank. If anyone knows please tell. But all in all an amazing effort. Well done JAG..
