So - as this clearly was a top question on everyone's mind.... I just had to go and get one to find out!!

I've now added a 2015 XC60 D5 (215) AWD Geartronic SE LUX to the fleet... it's done 102k but is absolutely mint.

Did have an issue with occasional hard shift from R or P to D but a transmission fluid change seems to have sorted that now it's re-adapting.

And the answer is.... 37 MPG which is about 2 MPG more than the dashboard is telling me. On the exact same commute my previous MY17 XC60 D4 2WD manual did circa 43 MPG so AndyB06 you were spot on suggesting a 15% drop (which I'm quite happy with). Still a long way of the V40 D3 Manual which does 55 on the same run..... :-~

Also it's currently on almost new Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Seasons which when fitted to my previous XC60 hit the MPG by about 3 (when compared to the factory Continental EcoContacts).
