It felt noticeably thirsty especially since xc60 is a lighter car (just subjectively judging how the tank emptied in similar conditions to my D5 - short hops from cold) but I wonder if it’s because it spins so well, I just gave it more. You could probably stick it in Eco to make the accelerator more anaemic and keep revs low for longer journeys.
