North East driving
32 avg. mph (mostly city)
16 mpg
87 octane
 
We have not seen improvement with 93 octane. When having a large percentage of highway use we barely break 18 mpg. Disclaimer is that these numbers are mostly based on trip computer which is reset after each fill up.

2.5T AWD 7-seat model with 16k miles. Driven in a flat and hot area (no hills but AC always on), usually loaded with 4 people. I get 15-17mpg in the city and 22-23mpg on highways. Not very good mileage for such a small engine, but the car is quite heavy.

Just for comparison - Honda Pilot by larsca

I drive a 05 Pilot. It has a 250 (or something around there) hp V6. EPA states city 17, highway 22. I do mostly highway and average 17-18 mpg (14-15 if mostly city) and I drive like a grandpa. So it sounds like the XC 90s in general get pretty darn good milage, 'cause the Pilot's sux!

We have an 05 Pilot, and average 18-19 around town, and when we go on a mostly highway trip, we average 22-23 MPG. We also have a Volvo XC90 and average 18 around town and 22 on highway. I am pleased with both vehicles.

Hello all:
 
I will be picking up a 2004 CPO T6 on Wednesday. Got a good deal on a loaded Sapphire Black with 11,800 miles.
 
Before wading through all 4700 posts, I am wondering what the real life MPG experience has been on the T6.
 
This is my first Volvo and I am looking forward to owning, driving and learning about the XC 90.

I have a T6. I average 20MPG and get more on a run. Drover from Yellowstone and got 24.6 MPG. I have fitted a vortex generator in the air intake which I got from ebay

I am thinking of changing from a T6 (discontinued) to a V8 and would like some real MPG info
