Just drained my first full tank of diesel, the computer was reporting 20 miles remaining but this seemed to alternate from 35 to "---" constantly, so who knows!
Anyway, I covered 617.9 miles on the tank!
All journeys were < 10 miles, travelling into a city centre and back with the A/C constantly "on". (Never turn it off!).
Not bad methinks!

Thanked 0 Times in 0 PostsThat's excellent! But does it compensate for the lack of T5 POWER!!!!!? Is the fuel tank 72 litres?

Thanked 0 Times in 0 PostsDunno, I only put in £15 rather than top it up as I'm going to France at the end of the week and I'll take advantage of cheap continental diesel over there!! Originally Posted by Goof

Get it on the cruise and 60mph and it'll top 70 to the gallon average!
I'm in love!#

Why the oil burner then and not a newer petrol version? Don't you miss the T5? Originally Posted by S60D5

Thanked 0 Times in 0 PostsDarren originally owned my T5, and I was asking him if the extra fuel consumption was worth it, given the D5 is not as fast as the T5 (At least for the moment). Originally Posted by volvotuning

Thanked 0 Times in 0 PostsI thought about it long and hard, and I could have saved a fair whack by buying a T5 rather than D5 as the diesels hold their value better. I reckon buying a T5 of the same spec/mileage as my D5 would have saved me around £1000-£1500. Originally Posted by Engineer
However, I love the way the D5 drives and love it's good economy, especially on a cruise of which I shall be doing a lot of through France. Considering diesel in france is 72-78p a litre it works out as quite a cost saving plan!
