I'm getting 32-38mgp (uk!) out of my XC70. One of the things which I think makes the economy a little worse (few mpg) is that the gearbox changes up later than I would like it to - around 3000 revs rather than 2000. I know it's adaptive and I can make it change up at lower revs (either by right foot or left hand!) but wondered if there was any other way of encouraging it to do so? Do people get re-maps?
Thanks

You can try to clear and reset the adaptors, do a drive cycle (this is specific) and see.
Maybe it will change a bit, maybe not.
The tranny is shifting there because that's an optimal shift point, lower and the engine could lug
