It is impossible for anyone to get 40mpg from this model under normal driving conditions. Thats a 20% reduction on the combined figure, I would take a guess that most people would not even manage to get 70% of the combined figure under normal driving.

A truly shocking statistic and something that Volvo should rectify.
