I'd prefer real experience rather than stated consumption figures. I will be doing at least 130 motorway miles a day at steady speed.

I will be doing at least 130 motorway miles a day at steady speed. A manual will get you at least around 40mpg, an auto about 38mpg, depending on whether you cruise at 70 or more. Our S70 2.5 is much happier, and indeed better on fuel at an indicated 85 than it is at 70. (5th gear alittle tall for the engine's available torque at 70) Tim..
