Default 43.95mpg on 16,000 miles

Back onto the mpg, my S80 D5 Manual (2004, with ~135,000 miles) has done 43.95mpg over the last 16,000 miles.
I do drive like a judge though, i'm a director of a tracking company - see my attached driver style report.
I was thinking of updating the S80, i did think about a DRIVe, but open to advice.

thanks Simon.

I need to get insurance that gives me a special rate for conservative driving.
