Reading the threads, the V70 D5 is very unstable as far as fuel consumtion is concerned. I just replaced my 1999 V70D for a 2006 D5 SE Manual, which achieved 50-51 on a 250 trip down the M1 averaging about 60mph. Local trips were in the 35 area.

I have since replaced this Car with another V70 D5 SE this weekend. Again we did the same M1 trip, did not go above 65mph. I set the read out, when starting off. I am amazed that the Average fuel consumption read 64miles to the gallon. STRANGE.

Also, does anybody know how to stop the Grey Engine cover from vibrating. Which makes a noice.
