A truly shocking statistic and something that Volvo should rectify. |

The mpg figures do not make sense, this is from the July 11th pricelist ( latest )
All are the combined figures. D3 FWD DRIVe Manual 49.6 mpg D3 FWD Auto 41.5 mpg D3 AWD Manual 49.6 mpg D3 AWD Auto 41.5 mpg D5 AWD Manual 50.4 mpg D5 Auto 41.5 mpg The 50.4 mpg figure has to be wrong surely? |

I just think it cannot be right that the auto figures are all the same regardless of engine size or AWD v FWD.
Same with the manual figures, how can they be so similar? |

Whilst I am a "wee" bit disappointed I do understand that the engine is still pretty tight & that today's diesels need a good few ooo's before they loosen up & the mpg start dropping. I would be happy to achieve 35mpg by the time I have got 5,000 miles on the clock - which is a great improvement from my previous car - V70 T5 - which I would normally average about 23mpg with the same journey patterns.

Example - straight road instantaneous fuel readout 39.8 put aircon on and this drops to 33.5. Hi guys and gals Its great to read about your fuel returns although what I was hoping to establish is how you peeps "ran in" your XC60 and thus what you are getting MPG wise. Did some of you run in below 2000rpm and are now getting good returns or are you getting low returns as a result of a gentle run in. Did you drive hard from new and now you get low MPG or the opposite? Comments as usual are warmly welcomedd Regards Last edited by volvorocks; Jul 21st, 2011 at 20:38. Reason: put 200rpm instead of 2000...lol |

Also by the way
The fuel returns you guys (and gals) are posting - are these generally averages over a specified distance...ie 35mpg say over 2000miles? Without re-setting the trip from new? I know some of you have posted "long trip to Scotland averaged 35mpg" etc |

Yes the fuel returns as per "Volvo Official" for MY12 are better. The reason , I opine , is that it is due to the fitting of stop / start which in effect reduces emmissions down to 149 (for the manual anyway as stop / start is not on Autos) Considering fuel consumption is only measured "on the bench" via emmissions in some sort of virtual lab test , one can only come to the conclusion that fuel mpg for MY12 will not be that different in real terms / real life driving than non stop / start MY11 etc - especially on the motorway as also bear in mind the MY12 is a 215 (212) bhp as oppose to 205 bhp of MY11. Re 4wd versus 2wd - also bear in mind that even the D5 is only 2wd in normal conditions with power going only to the front wheels unless slip is detected and then 4wd kicks in Please peeps correct me if I am incorrect Regards |
