Is that acceptable for this model and year?
I took the car to two shops (I got it two years ago, used) and I got the same answer from both: they see nothing wrong with the car, although they couldn't tell me what's the acceptable consumption.
Any ideas?

Your mpg figures seemed *really* low to me so I checked a couple of online convertors which both gave the following:
13 l/km is ~ 21.7 UK mpg
11.8 l/km is ~ 23.9 UK mpg
I never got to low 20s with my XC90 D5 but I imagine it could be possible in pure city driving.
One thing not already mentioned is low tyre pressure will reduce mpg.
Good luck.
