Jaguar XF 2.2 Diesel averages 62.9mpg on 2,884 mile U.S Road Trip

The Jaguar XF 2.2 Diesel completes its US Road Trip Last week we reported that Jaguar were taking an XF 2.2 Diesel to the US to drive from New York to Los Angeles to show just how economical the new, smaller engined diesel can be when driven on long, open roads.

Peel P50 back in business

Turns out it was put back into production in 2010, and is now assembled under licence by a company called Grasshopper in Nottingham.
