What do you use the tow bar for, bike rack, caravan or Jet Ski perhaps!? And how does that affect the consumption?

Like you I always have been a diesel man in the past purely from the economics but now in retirement my annual mileage has halved I can have fun with the instant acceleration from petrol again......I still remember the sheer torque from my very 1st Volvo - the amazing 850 T5 in its early generations.

Good spot - I use the tow bar only for a bike rack so zero noticeable impact on mpg.
I am not so sure that the T5 would make a good caravan tower with the D5 powertrain being a better alternative.
