Just wondered whether this is a common issue or just mine - I'll probaly wait til the first service to get it sorted.
Still only managing 25 mpg <---- disappointing

I heard a small no of XC90's have this problem and Volvo have an uprated engine mounting bush set for cars affected but it sounds like you have a fairly new XC90 so I'm suprised that the problem hasn't been cured completly assuming that's what it is.
On fuel consumption.... try setting it to the instantantanious mpg readout then just leaving the car to run on level ground without having your foot on the accelerator but in gear (I'm assuming you have a Geartronic ) You should see about 20mpg or so showing after a 100 yds or so. If it's way down I'd check you don't have a frozen brake caliper. (something I saw on a friends Honda the other day) I would just add that the engine is far from loosened up and you really need to get it over 10,000 miles to see it start to return diesel type fuel economey.
