Same car, same load, same road (albeit in opposite directions).
Total distance 470 km, 89.7 km/h avg. speed in one direction, 88.2 in the other. Fuel consumption 6.4 l/100 km one direction, 7.5 in the other. Probable explanation for second trip: Stronger winds and one soot filter regeneration. The car is an XC70 D5 (230 hp) AWD automatic from 2012. |

So just over 44mpg one way and 37.6 the other way. Not so bad then?

Mainly motorway. One stop due to drawbridge opening going back and one stop due to police having arrested seven villains along a country road on the way out!
But most of the trip on cruise control. |

I'm happy with the genuine 45mpg I got on my return trip. The outward trip and low-speed low-gear work during the week was never going to be good news for fuel consumption I guess. Very happy with the way the car performed otherwise. Perfect for a longer journey.

Have been pleased on latest tank of fuel to be averaging (according to the car) 39.9mpg on my daily country road commute, then was later work the other morning and it plummeted to 33.3. It seems much harder to get it to go back up, than it was to go down... :-)
It reminds me that , on my wife's previous car - a Mini Cooper S - she averaged 37mpg, whilst I - when I got the chance to use it - averaged 26mpg. It was so lovely to drive fast...

I can understand that! Even my Mk1 Mini felt much quicker than it was, but a Cooper S was something else.

This means when you are stuck in a jam it maybe only giving 25mpg but once on the free moving dual carriageway it's giving 55 mpg, by the time you hit the pump it's mixed them all up since the last reset and as you've seen normally about 2-5 mpg out. |
