Anyone else with D5's in a similar situation?
Firstly volvo are not allowed to quote their own fuel consumption figures , the ones you see are 3rd party government ones .

what is your average speed showing? needs to be over 40 mph for good fuel consumption , also make sure your tyre pressurers are around 38 psi . do you live in a hilly area ? how often do you go over 70 mph ?
