As I've said before, our C30 S/S has been doing great mileages and getting slightly better at 5k miles. It is averaging 73.5mpg and I've had two trips at 91mpg. The best sight was last week, after a fill up, when the trip showed 1135 (yes, one thousand, one hundred...) miles to empty tank.

The tyres are at eco pressure (mahogany hard) and no A/C. Oh yes, and driving like a nun with 11 points, aka legally, everywhere. So the Volvo numbers are real. They do use trick drivers on the rolling road and the EU cycle is pretty benign.
