Although my 960 is the saloon and not the estate I don't find the fuel consumption at all excessive.Mine is the 2.9[badged as a 3.0] and on a recent run to Uttoxeter for the BKV and another to Wetherby for the Northern BKV at a steady cruise of mainly 65-70mph[my racing days are long gone] it returned a figure just a smidgeon over 31mpg-for comparison my 3.0 vauxhall Omega saloon[also an automatic]will return a figure of 34.5mpg for a similar journey/speed,while my V70[2.4 140 manual]comes in at 39mpg under the same conditions.

Of course plant the right foot hard and the old girl lifts up her skirts and flies and the 50mph to 80mph time is very impressive and makes overtaking a doddle! |

Yes they can certainly get a shift on when asked....and surprise quite a few people in doing so.
