24 MPG combined isn’t going to win any hypermiling contests, but that’s what you get with the 2022 Jaguar F-Pace P250 with its 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The number isn’t about outright frugality but more about balance. F-Pace buyers want the Jaguar brand, the athletic handling, and the practicality of a small SUV. Fuel economy is simply a factor they accept.

City and highway performance

The EPA estimates the 2022 Jaguar F-Pace P250 gets 22 MPG in the city and 27 MPG on the highway. The city number reflects the stop-and-go driving conditions in urban environments, where the engine is constantly accelerating and decelerating. The highway figure of 27 MPG is more representative of steady-state cruising, where the engine operates more efficiently. This spread highlights the importance of driving style; aggressive acceleration and braking will pull the average MPG closer to the city number, while a more relaxed approach on the open road will yield results closer to the highway estimate.

Annual fuel cost

The EPA estimates the annual fuel cost for the 2022 Jaguar F-Pace P250 at $2,400. This is calculated based on 15,000 miles of driving per year and the national average fuel price.

Remember that this is just an estimate. Your actual fuel costs may vary depending on fuel prices in your region, your driving habits, and the number of miles you drive annually. This $2,400 provides a benchmark for budget planning and lets you compare with other vehicles, helping potential owners understand the ongoing ownership expenses. Check all Jaguar fuel economy data to understand where this model fits within the Jaguar range.

Real-world expectations

EPA estimates provide a standardized benchmark, but real-world fuel economy often deviates. Factors like traffic congestion, weather, terrain, and even tire pressure can change the actual MPG.

F-Pace owners often report figures slightly below the EPA estimates, particularly in areas with heavy traffic or hilly terrain. However, careful driving and maintenance can help owners get results closer to the advertised figures. The F-Pace’s power can make drivers use the throttle frequently, decreasing fuel economy for performance.

How it compares

The F-Pace’s fuel economy is competitive within its segment. The BMW X3 sDrive30i, with its 2.0L turbo engine, gets a slightly better 25 MPG combined. The Acura RDX, also featuring a 2.0L turbo, lands at 23 MPG combined, placing it just behind the F-Pace. The Volvo XC60 T5, another competitor with a 2.0L turbo, mirrors the F-Pace’s 24 MPG combined.

These comparisons show the cost of the Jaguar’s design and sporty handling: other brands get slightly more efficiency from similar engines and vehicle layouts. Reviewing F PACE MPG across all years is useful to gain perspective over time.

Tips to maximize efficiency

Use the F-Pace’s Eco driving mode. This mode adjusts throttle response and shift patterns to prioritize fuel efficiency, which can make a difference in everyday driving. The system is accessible via the driving mode switch.

Check the tire pressure. Underinflated tires increase rolling resistance, which reduces fuel economy. Check it regularly and maintain the recommended inflation levels on the doorjamb sticker. This is important during seasonal changes, as tire pressure changes with the weather.

Avoid idling. Modern engines are efficient when running, but idling consumes fuel. If you anticipate stopping for more than a minute or two, turn off the engine. This can save fuel over time.

Reduce cargo weight. Weight puts a strain on the engine and reduces efficiency. Remove unnecessary items to minimize the load. Consider the weight of items carried regularly, such as sports equipment or tools, and only keep what you need.

Drive smoothly and anticipate traffic. Avoid aggressive acceleration and braking, which consume more fuel. Maintain a steady speed and anticipate traffic to minimize stops and starts. Look ahead to modulate your accelerator inputs intelligently.
