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.

On a recent trip to Sweden, I had a Hertz rental V70 D2 (same engine, 1.6 litre, 4 cyl, 115 bhp) auto and that returned 56mpg! So I would not be surprised if you will see over 60mpg in the V40

Performance was more than ok in the V70 btw.

our mpg is creeping up slowly. Started off at 30mpg but now at mid 40's with 350 miles on clock and 2/3 through first tank.
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.

2. Clutch pedal spring clicks on return stroke
