City or highway — who is this car for
The Jaguar F-PACE gives up 5.8 mpg the moment you leave the motorway — 25.2 out there against 19.4 in town, a 30% drop worth $455 a year. A wide gap punishes stop-and-start traffic; a narrow one means the car doesn't care where you drive it.
| Measure | Value | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| City | 19.4 mpg | $1,979 a year if you only drive in town |
| Highway | 25.2 mpg | $1,524 a year if you mostly commute |
| Gap | +5.8 mpg (30%) | Wide — this car dislikes traffic |
How the F-PACE changed over the years
The F-PACE peaked in 2018 at 24.5 mpg (22 city, 28 highway) and was at its thirstiest in 2026 at 20.7 — 3.8 mpg apart, or $288 a year in fuel between buying one year and the other. The 2026 car does 20.7. Jumps usually mark a new generation or a new engine; dips often mean a heavier body or added all-wheel drive.
