Pretty pleased with that. The delivery driver who dropped the car off to me said that other people have been getting over 70mpg on long runs but it takes about 3 fill up`s on the tank to get that amount.
On a recent trip to Sweden, I had a Hertz rental V70 D2 (same engine, 1.6 litre, 4 cyl, 115 bhp) auto and that returned 56mpg! So I would not be surprised if you will see over 60mpg in the V40

Performance was more than ok in the V70 btw.
