I was gentle on the acceleration and drove gently..

Anyone else getting better milage from the D5?
Had a 163 bhp D5 and a 185 bhp D5. After the 1st 3 months of ownership, you take the volvo bak to the dealer and they just do some fine tuning to the engine. In the 163 i got 30 - 32mpg and 185 i get 32 -34 mpg.
