i believe the D2's have priority for some reason
I think it's to do with the big ad campaign going. We ordered ours start of August and just got it Monday. Never seen it in daylight ! Ours is the D4 R design Lux and according to dash and 300 miles on clock it's doing 45mpg at minute

Pretty pleased with that. The delivery driver who dropped the car off to me said that other people have been getting over 70mpg on long runs but it takes about 3 fill up`s on the tank to get that amount. |

We opted to pick ours up - was just being picky TBH. The garage picked us up and we drove it the 150 miles home. Its getting more eager as the miles climb. Do volvo add something to the software that limits the power for a certain amount of miles?

The onboard computer is saying 50.6 average but the fuelly app in my signature is working it out at 46. I must have a heavy right foot! I would love to get mid 50's and better on a long run. I am coming up to around 2000 miles so hope to see it improving. I might do an oil and filter change to see if it helps.

Checked ours after first full tank and we managed just short
Of 45mpg. Not bad me thinks Love the car. Only spotted two faults. 1. Rear passenger door seal looks deformed compared to other side 2. Clutch pedal spring clicks on return stroke
