Just to chime in, I'm in an XC60 T6 and in town I'm getting low 20s and out and about high twenties, early thirties, but car has only done 2200 miles or so.

I went through this debate in the summer. Test drove a D5 and ordered a T5. My choice was partially where the market is going - look at Bristol and I drive in Edinburgh and they will do something in time - and partially cost driven as the T5 is much cheaper on PCP.
Sure the diesel will give better economy but you need to do a lot of miles to make up for the higher price and lower residuals. As for performance I don't know where the comments about the T5 struggling come from as I have no issue and only ever use more than half throttle when overtaking. It is plently fast enough for daily driving and handles very well on the firm setting on the air suspension that I would encourage you to look at. I am getting 28mpg so far but still less than 5k miles in.

The T5 (polestarized) is plenty of power and drives smoothly.

My T5 is just over a year now.
See attached screenshot - Imperial units. Daily commute - 9.8 miles in the morning and 10.1 miles in the evening - mixed city centre and dual carriageway:
Motorway trips longer than 10 miles:
I drive to the speed limit (within 10% over it) most of the time, faster when overtaking. With a full car (4 adults + 2 kids with car seats + luggage), I didn't find 50-70mph overtaking on single carriageways any more nervous than my previous manual 2012 Skoda 2.0 TDI (in 3rd or 4th gear). And I'd assume "Dynamic" mode will solve the problem if there is really a problem - it was very very quick compared to 1.5T Mini Cooper Auto in S mode.

29.1 mpg 35 mph 9,771 miles Either Town driving c33%, or A&B country roads c33% with balance on Motorways c33%. I have no issue with this data as it compares favourable with my two previous XC60 D5's that averaged c32.7 mpg.
