Hi, can anyone tell me what the likely miles per gallon you would get from a 2004 model xc90 2.9 T6 executive which would mainly do short around town journeys?

I dont have one, but i'll take an educated guess at somewhere around 17mpg around town doing short journey's.

Below is the answer to your question:

However if you are planning to buy one, it's fuel consumption should not be the concern, but it's ailing transmission.

Avoid like the plague. The GM sourced 4T65-E gearbox is a known weak point.

Just one UK example http://forums.t5d5.org/topic/16858-a...ervice-urgent/
