I'm only getting 26mpg on my Volvo S40 - what should I be getting?

I've recently purchased a Volvo S40 2.4-litre petrol. What mpg should it get? I'm currently getting 26mpg and 30mpg on a run out.

That's about right. The Real MPG average is 31mpg: www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/volvo/s40-2004 /

Real MPG enables you to register the fuel economy you are actually getting against your make and model of car, its engine and type of transmission.

Every time you enter an average consumption figure against your car, the overall average automatically adjusts to reflect it.
