    My 2015 S60 T6 is averaging 26.5 MPG after 6,634 miles. I track results on an Excel spreadsheet, actual miles from the odometer and actual fuel used from the gas station receipts. FWIW, the vehicle trip computer which I also track for comparison seems to run 5% to 10% optimistic.

    Purely city miles are not up to EPA "city" estimates, a tank driving mostly to and from the office, local errands etc. will average about 21 to 22 MPG. Highway is impressive. I went to Las Vegas ( from Los Angeles ) last weekend. For the round trip, that tank averaged 33.4 MPG, my best to date. Almost 500 miles on that tankfull and there was still additional range remaining. I set the adaptive cruise for 73 on the 65 MPH local freeways, 76 on the 70 MPH interstates. YMMV, of course!

    Not bad for 300 HP in an upscale vehicle IMHO.
