I like the "fully loaded" although it's a sport model.
I also love how people throw a set of rims on something and think it's automatically worth like $2000 more

not ment as a defense but vehicles out here in Cali are a lot more expensive than in other areas, it's really annoying.

But yeah its way over priced probably b/c he spent 2 grand on those POS rims alone/ or stole them knowing people out here lol. and yeah not even close to fully loaded and its a 2X. people these days hahaha

yea right im actually suprised my 4.7 is in the 15-20 mpg... after factoring in the fact that my odometer is way off. if you go by odometer then its like 10-15

YKYDAXJW you are going 80 down the highway unknowingly cause your speedo says 65... damn tires

YKYDAXJ when you see someone online saying that they get 28 mpg in their XJ and you do everything you can to disprove them....

I'm xXUSMCGRIFFXx btw....But last time I checked boring out your throttle body and all of this other crap he did increases HP but decreases MPG.....Screw Logic
Here's an argument I had with a guy over this....I just gave up after a bit
This last post is his too...

I've gotten 100mpg one time...I mean all it took was going 65 down a decline and releasing the gas lol. But honestly I know where you're coming from and YKYDAXJW mpg is a common issue

YOU KNOW YOU'VE BEEN DRIVING AN XJ TOO LONG WHEN gas mileage isn't considered an issue anymore.

You know you drive an XJ when you get so used to not having cup holders you become a master of holding everything in your lap, hands, or wherever possible while driving...and still do that routine in other vehicles that are loaded with cupholders and center console room.
