V70 D5 (163bhp)
Generation 2
5-Speed Manual
Eu III

Low 50+ MPG without thinking, rises to mid 60's MPG with thinking, planning and restraint.

V70 D5 (185bhp)
Generation 3
6-Speed Manual
Eu IV.

Lucky to see 40+ MPG. However, when long motorway runs at the "unofficial speed limt", see mid-40s

Those that struggle to get 50+ MPG from a EuIII on mixed driving, perhaps need to get their vehicles checked.

This is based on tanking "brim-2-brim", as I do not believe the on board computer.
