Don't take much notice of the trip mpg if reset and the journey afterwards is less than about 15 miles. It always reads pessimistically until a few extra miles have been covered.

Taking that into account, my D5 XC90, a bigger and heavier car, has not been down into the 20's region since the first 5000 miles from new, when it was probably a bit 'tight'. The worse I've recorded for any significant distance has been 32mpg and that was going a bit fast shall we say. On my travels I expect at least 36mpg and my car averages about 38 most of the time. Sometimes it hits 42 or better. I'm off to Stratford upon Avon tomorrow, so it will be interesting to see how the 400 mile round trip goes.

S90 would surely be expected to better my car somewhat significantly.
