XC90 Fuel Efficiency & New Tyres
I have a 2008 D5 XC90 - in good shape - around 100k miles, fully serviced; and it has always given me around 31mpg average.
I've just had a brand new set of Continental Cross Contact 255/50 R19's fitted, and perhaps coincidentally, my fuel efficiency has dropped to around 28mpg. Could this be due to the new tyres, or is there likely to be something more sinister at work here? |
