It's basically been this way since new. it's got about 30k miles on it now. Had dealer check it while it was under warranty and they found nothing wrong.
Pretty bad compared to my wagon which has a 3.5l V6 wit more power (302) more torque, is all wheel drive and weighs more. I get similar around town average (17 or so mpg) but highways I easily get around 30mpg on long drives at speeds up to 70mph.

Yeah, to me the poor mileage is really the biggest disappointment with the car. It replaced an XC90 V8 in part to save on gas, and while it is better it is not much better. A 2014 Audi A4 which also has a 2.0 liter turbo 4 will average 26 mpg combined city/highway. Not sure why the N20 is so thirsty.
