If you look at the historic MPG figures for the last 10 blocks of 10 miles you can "see " the regen taking place.... I travel 120 miles A1M to mother in laws and it really jumps out when it occurred. Cheers Bob |

its also possible that your car has been re mapped this would also affect your mpg. the scalded cat referance leeds me to think its possibly a re mapped car . dyno time would tell you whats going on good luck on your quest for mpg. my remapped 850 t5 dose 13mpg when driven hard 22 on a run ...

I did wonder that, but last car was a 163 euro 3, so it’s 40bhp up on that anyway, so that’ll make it feel quicker anyway.
It doesn’t show any checksum errors which I’d expect on a remap, unless polestar and there’s no record of that. |

Spent 30 minutes taking photos and replying to your question and thinking all was well....Then decided to check on web and the dash of a 2010MY is different to the 2015MY (mine) so you don't have the infotainment screen mine does. - or the "my car" option, so you cant get the info you want...
Sorry to have raised your hopes.. Only found my error when I returned to edit my "phantom post" to try and correct my mistake. What happened to the post I've no idea... Cheers Bob |

That horrendous geartronic gearbox is the main culprit of the fuel consumption.
They all have it |

Its one giant friction box (hence the fuel consumption) wich causes heat wich causes oil degredation combined with never replenishing the oil= broken box

A bit fed up with the AW55 bashing when it should rightly be Volvo-bashing. It gives fine service elsewhere - whose manufacturers specified a service interval, typically. |
