Hi, i filled up yesterday with my fuel guage showing 90 miles left. Basically i had used my 1st tank full since i had the S60, i put in 61 litres at £55 and had done 351 miles, so i reckon thats about 27mpg in my head which is pretty cool i think.

Thats strange my 70s slightly better than my old 850 or Andreas 850 , point 0 service and rica should sort it.

The 850 managed around 22 around town and the 70 around 23 best on long run in winnie 30mpg best in whiplash 32.5mpg.
Cruising at a steady 100 mph on ze autobahgn is around 23-23.5 in mojo and about 23.5 -24 in whiplash!

I am running ave 29 mpg over the past 3000 ish miles, including a couple of high average speed runs. When not late for work, run over 32 - 35 mpg, cruise set at 70 mph.
Best ever was 525+ miles on a tank, Reading to Bristol to Sheffield to S****horpe to Reading to Bristol, plus a few diversions to hotels etc.
Not bad with an airleak in the vac system as well I can't find.......

Your car needs a service moppy - once that is done, it should improve :) And a rica will help ;)

I think the Volvo fulel consumption is hellish!! It has got to the stage I am thinking of selling the car before the house gets taken off me!!!
Have been running an E39 BMW M5 just now and it has 400 BHP, 8 cylinders, is devastatingly quick in the saloon car catagory and it gets better fuel consumption than the Volvo!!!! Whats that all about?????

Well mine was a mixture of everything, i used to get 280 to 320 max out of my S70, i was on target for 400 this time although it was only my 1st tank of petrol so i'll monitor it.

my average at the minute is 17.4 (normally lower than that) but on a decent run she'll still do about 30mpg

Almost in Range Rover territory!

I do lots of miles and frequently get 30 to 34 by computer and my workings. With a mixture of driving.

Shadquattro could easily get 15mpg, if its designed to go fast..it will.

Just got back from touring in France 1600 miles on 'Super' (98 octane) and showing 25.5mpg.
I thought that was quite good as I'm usually in the low 20s around town!
