Wonder how much of a drain the A/C is on fuel economy? But then who would even care at those prices.......!!!
Bet the majority of XC60's sold are fuel eating petrol T6's.
Aircon reduces fuel consumption.

Example - straight road instantaneous fuel readout 39.8 put aircon on and this drops to 33.5.

Hi guys and gals

Its great to read about your fuel returns although what I was hoping to establish is how you peeps "ran in" your XC60 and thus what you are getting MPG wise.

Did some of you run in below 2000rpm and are now getting good returns or are you getting low returns as a result of a gentle run in.

Did you drive hard from new and now you get low MPG or the opposite?

Comments as usual are warmly welcomedd

Regards
