Although my 960 is the saloon and not the estate I don't find the fuel consumption at all excessive.Mine is the 2.9[badged as a 3.0] and on a recent run to Uttoxeter for the BKV and another to Wetherby for the Northern BKV at a steady cruise of mainly 65-70mph[my racing days are long gone] it returned a figure just a smidgeon over 31mpg-for comparison my 3.0 vauxhall Omega saloon[also an automatic]will return a figure of 34.5mpg for a similar journey/speed,while my V70[2.4 140 manual]comes in at 39mpg under the same conditions.

![]() Of course plant the right foot hard and the old girl lifts up her skirts and flies and the 50mph to 80mph time is very impressive and makes overtaking a doddle! |

Yes they can certainly get a shift on when asked....and surprise quite a few people in doing so.
