In my S80 D5 Geartronic I can achieve high 20s to 30 mpg around town. It drops if it's stop start stuff to low 20s. On a run I get an indicated average of 45mpg at a cruise controlled 75mph. If I switch to manual I can achieve higher figures around town. Mileage is just over 10k. I'm getting around 430 miles to the tank around town equating to an average of 23mpg. It isn't brilliant, but economy wasn't the reason I bought it. Comfort and practicality were my main reasons and it does them with ease.
