Re: new xc40 or not?
Technically new until registered. Practically, need to consider the build date. Typically, no more than a couple of months between build date and registration would be normal. I recall some years ago that there were "new" Rover 75s lying round in stock for nearly 12 months after Rover went...

Re: AC - on or off
Leave it on.
For the reasons above that it needs the lubricant to be circulated otherwise the seals will fail.
It will cut in and out as required and has a negligible effect on fuel economy other than high summer - when you need it.

Re: MPG - Again :-)
Just done a round trip from Cheshire to Kent and back via Milton Keynes.
Overall consumption for the round trip was 55.1 mpg.
Mostly motorway and not in any rush, but impressive nonetheless

Re: XC40 Remote Start
I would not remote start mine as I always leave the car in gear when parked... starting it remotely would end up demolishing the garage door....

Re: MPG - Again :-)
I've had mine for 3 months now and done about 4000 miles. Round town and one shorter journeys I'm getting about 43-44 mpg. On longer mainly motorway trips I'm getting up to 52 mpg. I expect that this will improve as the engine loosens up and the weather improves. That said, I do tend to drive sensib...

Re: mpg query
In terms of journeys and mpg, you really need to average this over a period to account for wind / weather conditions. E.g. when I go from Chester to Sheffield i use more fuel than if I do the reverse journey. Similarly, wind strength and direction can make 3-4 mpg difference. I once cracked 70mpg in...
