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.
What year is the new one though?
