Well I'm really pleased so far.
I was recently a Land Rover Discovery Sport owner which suffered from awful build quality and an average of 37.4mpg over my ownership (2 cars, 14 months and 15K miles). The XC90 has now done 1500 miles and an average of 36.2 mpg, a hugely more up market experience and a very happy owner. Considering the size difference, I'm over the moon. The Volvo had 14K on the clock when I bought it... that may make a difference of course. |

about 6k miles now and still only around 25/26mpg mostly. Goes up to mid to high 30's on a motorway run.
99% of driving is inner m25 town traffic and i don't tread lightly off the line or roundabouts so i've given up looking. |

I decided not to get a LRDS due to the B pillar welding issues widely reported. Zero faith in that not being an issue in event of a side impact. |

Done ~5,000 miles and average is 33.6 mpg. Many short journeys, occasional mid-length of ~30 miles and the odd long motorway trek.
I do think the XC90 would benefit in several ways from a larger engine. My old Merc which weighed the same as an XC90 had a 5 litre V8 petrol engine and could manage 32 mpg on a long run (okay, it was ~18 around town) but comparing that engine with the one in the XC90 (5 litre vs 2 litre, petrol vs diesel) you'd expect the '90 to be far better than it is. A small engine in a big car probably isn't a good idea.

I'm at 31 mpg over the course of 1245km, but lately I've been doing a lot of town.
On the highway I have been doing 35mpg. |

[QUOTE=jmot;2333367]LOL out the frying pan into the fire then if you read some of the threads in this forum
You need to compare the number of issues on the Discovery Sport forum! This forum has next to no issues in comparison... have some fun, take a look |

The car is really sensitive to inclines and speed, though... Small engine, heavy car, no way around that I guess. The worst I have seen on the highway is 24mpg, the best 35. Most trips I have done 30mpg. |
