Having 30s (most measure around 29.5" or so) on an XJ isn't going to make much of a difference over the stock 28s or 29s in terms of mpg. Do a little aero modding around the wheel wells, and on the highway, the taller effective gearing may even help. In city traffic, however, the extra rotating weight will hurt.
