For the entire life of our S90 I have kept very detailed records. The first 3 years were in commute tracffic, the last 5 have been in rural/highway (very little city) driving at high altitude (leaner running) so my numbers may not reflect the norm.

The average since day one has been 23.940 mpg. I have broken 29 mpg 5 times, the last time I hit 29.856 and it was all highway (I-70) driving. I'm obviously not an agressive driver.

I fill the tank the same way every time and use the same gas station. I always use premium.

When my wife drives, she has a heavier foot pulling away from stop lights and the mpg numbers will drop by 2-3 mpg.
