Replying to: gis514 (Feb 24, 2006 11:33 am) The XC90 won't be broken in until around the 2-3,000 mile mark. Since the car is behaving as advertised on the highway, I doubt anything is wrong with the car itself. How do you drive the car? Do you do alot of short trips? Alot of stop and go driving? Do you accelerate briskly when you drive? What type of fuel are you using? If you do alot of short trips and stop and go driving, the car isn't going to match the city EPA cycle because that is not how it was tested.

Replying to: volvomax (Feb 24, 2006 5:07 pm) We live in Miami, Fl. The terrain here is flat and the only hills are the on-ramps into the expressways. City traffic is pretty bad-stop and go. Average city speed in around 20 mph. We also drive with a light foot. I'm looking for possible dealer/technical/programing solutions. Others are reporting similar issues. Yet some are getting much mileage. The obvious slow acceleration, proper tire inflation, manually checking consumption full to empty, changing gas octane, etc...Have done nothing to improve mpg.

Replying to: gis514 (Feb 26, 2006 5:05 am)  an average of 20 mph you won't reach EPA numbers. The EPA city cycle test is at an average of 30 mph.

Replying to: elias (Jul 11, 2006 3:01 pm) 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.
