Any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong/might do better?
Thanks!
Good to see another Shrewsbury Volvo owner on this thread........and I can totally agree with your comments on Shropshire roads/lanes which are not conducive to achieving good mpg data........unless you are on the M54.
In reality your mpg is not that unrealistic and will get better as the engine & drivetrain loosens up towards the 10,000 mile mark.
Remember you have a pretty large car powered by a 2L engine as well.
