Yet Another Volvo Issue

    So recently our "trusty" diesel S40 has been quite on the heavy side with fuel.
    I've had the car serviced on time, there are no leaks that I can see and the thermostat is working fine.
    On a recent trip I was lucky if I got 600/650km from a tank and thats sitting at 120/130 on the motorway so no mixed driving.
    Figures state the car should do closer to over 800/900km per tank.
    Anyone have some ideas where else I could look?
    I'm getting woefully tired of this problematic ****e every week

    Cheers

    Oh and I should add that it is very smokey, turbo seals were leaking but I got the turbo reconditioned. I get a hell of a lot of black smoke too which to me signals an air problem within the engine or maybe a fuel problem.
    I can't seem to find any evidence if the 2001 S40 has a DPF but I highly doubt it, my next thought is that the CAT could be possibly blocked.

    At the last service, which was a full service, so about 2/3000 miles ago

    Anyone know how to test for a blocked CAT? I believe I have 2 CATS in this engine
