My 2004 2655kg XC90 regularly achieves over 45mpg on motorway journeys using normal Esso diesel.
First, the link shows in US units for some reason, you need to go to the top left corner near the car name and change to UK MPG.

Secondly, I enter the information of the fuel put in at that stop. Saves me having to remember what I put in when I last fueled up. So for the tank you quoted it, it was actually BP regular diesel.

Thirdly mine is a 185bhp D5 which is often said to have worse consumption than the earlier 163bhp D5.

And lastly, it is a geartronic.

ps, I had mine on a weighbridge and it was 1,860kg.
