I haven`t done any actual calculations in the mileage drop but I suspect it`s dropped from approx "25" in highway driving to maybe around "20". My wife commutes 100 miles daily, mostly highway miles. The monthly fuel bill is adding up!
Have you experienced any issues with your `03 XC? We`ve owned the car for 5 yrs this month & my wife loves it tho` the first 18 months the DIM & ABS module went south plus the bevel gear which was covered under warranty. We were concerned that maybe this XC would be nothing but trouble. However, we are long time Volvo owners so hung in there & no regrets.
