There are thousands of threads on MPG for the D5 but I genuinely have a headache reading through them.

As a quick runround, who has experience of the D5 185 geartronic in an XC70 and what was MPG like.

I have had mine just over a month. Full service history, all fluids clean and new and its clearly been well looked after and on 49K miles.

Over the past 1000miles Iv'e not seen 27mpg mixed driving, motorway/town.
trip computor is 28.7 but my calculations are lower.

Reading other threads, some with 185 D5 seem to get anything between 32 + 38 mixed driving.

No stored faults, checked by VIDA and runs, pulls very well. Any ideas if there's something I should look at or check. If that's all it'll do, then so be it. It wasn't bought for economy but just concerned if there's something up and I should be getting more.

Thanks,

Terry
