The great fuel consumption poll
 
Please click on the car and consumption range that applies to you and your car... I think it may be quite an eye opener to see how different the different engines are from one another in terms of fuel consumption.

Of course this information has to be taken with a pinch of salt, some people drive far more in heavy traffic than others. Some have a relaxed driving style while others "Push On".

Never the less I think it would be interesting to see how the different XC60's are doing out there in the real world...

Please also note that the MPG / US MPG / L/100KM conversions have been rounded off but I think the three options are useful enough

You haven't included the D3 geartronic in the poll.

You have not included the D3 AWD models in the poll?

Also no manual / auto option which makes a big difference?

XC60 Models ONLY?
 
Also it needs to be CLEAR that this poll applies only to XC60 models as other forum members reading "Unread" posts may not notice that this thread originates in the XC60 forum......................

I've just voted, but also is this long term average or best figures? Also the band 33mpg to 45mpg covers a huge range compared to the other bands?

I agree, seems a bit pointless with such a wide band. A large number will be in that range and 33 mpg would be a disappointing figure and 45 mpg would be almost unbelievable!

I get day-to-day average figures of 45-46mpg (as shown by the car's on-board computer) which equates to around 43mpg measured brim-to-brim per tankful on Fuelly (www.fuelly.com) - so not too unbeleivable!

I agree that there is a large amount of vagueness to this poll - I thought that 15 possibilities was pushing the boundaries of what was possible when setting up the poll.

Yes the difference between manual and geartronic should make a big difference...

Perhaps it would be better to create different polls for the different engine sizes and then allow for more accurate fuel consumption ranges and for manual vs. geartronic. If you guys think this is a good idea then perhaps I will ask the Mods to delete this thread and I will start again creating multiple threads with more details.

Your input and advice would be appreciated for what you would like to see in these threads if we are to do this... So please feel free to let me know.

2.4litre 173HP (the drive e engine) 2WD 6 speed geartronic, normally about 42MPG (imperial) on a run, 35-37 round town, but just suddenly dropped to 38mpg and feels sluggish.
Trip to dealer in the offing.

Jonluke,
To be honest, there are so many permutations of models and transmission it probably is a major task.

Do you really want to do it?
