That's good going.

I'm pleased with the economy on my V70 D3 stop start 2013. When I got the car the long term display average was 44mpg which surprised me, but that is what the normal use average is. On a motorway run 60+ is regular at 70mph, and I've seen near to 70mpg over a long distance when speed was lower due to traffic.

My 'target' is to see a range of more than 1,000 miles when I fill up. Have only managed about 950 miles so far. Nearly did it once but 5 miles before home the car started a DPF regen so that wrecked the figure. Managed 940 miles range on display this week.

Difficult for me to get decent full tank figures as I keep towing a caravan in the summer. Range then is about 500 miles which is still really good. Filling up with a caravan hitched up is no fun.
