Well, a 1.6d is more efficient without a cat... If you go eco, then correct!

Do you mean a T5 will be averaging 18mpg?

My T5 has never averaged that low driving normally, currently averaging 28-30mpg around town and get around 30-33mpg on a long run.

My two S80 T6's averaged higher than 18mpg too

Just to wrap a bow on this thread, have decided that with some great offers out there on a brand new C30 with the 2.0 petrol that's what i'm gonna do. Possibly lease it over 3 years then get another new Volvo
