How many miles can you get out of a 850/p1 v70 t5 on a full tank

[Redbrick]

Thanks for this thread Reminds me why I drive a D5, computer says 700 mile range when I fill up. I was having dark thoughts about a P2 R, this has bought me back to earth with a bump. From memory my 855R did 280-320 per fill up.... ouch.

Carry on...

lucky me. Last year i did a run from Kent to Budapest. Got 465 miles from a tank full of Shell V-power (100 octane) (Yep! 100 octane!!! That's Euro spec V-power)

[Torch S70R]

usually just over 300 on the comute which is rarely above 60mph, like using full throttle on the crawler lanes as well
got 389 on a trip to edinburgh last week which averaged out at 29.3mpg, suffice to say i wasnt cruising at 70
oh and its an auto S70R

I usually get 300 and light has been on, and Miles to empty is 5-10 (65 litres+)

however motorway driving is low-mid 30's

I get about 160miles to a tank full!

Again I still get a regular 350-410miles to a tank weekly when I drive with my children in the car.

I've just done a 200 mile round trip to Anglesey in my '99 ME7 T5 auto and I managed to average 33.7mpg, and thats fully loaded with camping gear, two dogs, two kids and the Mrs! I did drive 'properly' though, only giving in to temptation to put all the windows down and nail it through the Conway tunnel, what a lovely noise!

I get 390+ with day to day commuting and the odd blast. I can easily get 440+ on a good motorway run if its clear. I have a T5 auto with rica 280 map. I also try to use super unleaded every other fill up where possible. If i use my car around town i only seem to get 15 -17 mpg even if i take it very gently which is very bad, so i dont do much town driving in it. Using super unleaded gives a good improvement in mpg for me and helps offset the higher cost of the fuel.

Well there are so many differences between 850s/early Phase 1 V70s, and late Phase 1 V70s with ME7, that it's not worth comparing them...

I used to get up to an indicated 31mpg on a manual 850 T5 on a motoroway cruise and 34mpg on my ME7 T5... much worse on the autos.

I get 200 - 250 per tank in my c70, I do drive like a BAOH though:-)

well i get between 220-260 miles to a tank ful of normal unleaded but my driving is all start stop start stop. I drove in the motorway the other month and my computer told me 400+ till empty. I have no doubt that its the type of driving that I do that makes the consumption so bad. Every car I have ever owned is always crap on juice.

[Crazy_C]

I get around 260miles, but never really let it get to the point where the warning light comes on so I'd say 300miles.

Getting new plugs and leads tomorrow as mine are shot so that should really help matters. Plus mine's an auto running about 12psi on a manual boost controller

[leet5r]

a would be well happy if i got 300 out of a full tank , mpg are the worst in my car lol

[Flatout Phil]

Always less than one would like! Average 15 mpg in London, but much better on a run when I can behave myself (about 37 at 55mph in light traffic on motorways in warmer weather - but then I get VERY bored).

[madhouse]

Interesting thread. My recent T5 purchase seems to be holding out at 24.2 mpg that with a good bit of M25 motorway driving too Grr.
That said I've just serviced it so hoping the MPG will creep up, and the pending removal of the FSE valve to see if that makes any difference.
£50 of V-Power (at £1.20/litre) is offering about 230 miles - Cough!

[jdavis]

i did have mine displaying 23mpg on avg after 2000 miles driving. reset it accidently (DOH!). currently sat at 18mpg due to only doing two one mile journeys a day, i really need to give her a run!

[b7yen]

you guys working the mpg out manually? my c70 has no computer :-(
if i got 300 miles from a tank id be amazed

[t5_monkey]

I got 34.9 on a long run (was up into the 35's when I didn't spank it)

average about 31 around town but it's mostly shorter runs of a just a few miles.

As for the mileage, never run the tank right to empty but about 350-400 per tank.

[p fandango]

reading this thread makes me thankful that i've took the trip computer off BT lol, not looking forward to the fuel bills now

[Will_1223]

Lol my trip computer says 18.6mpg atm but i only had the car a week or two and i keep gunning it about lol, o well you only live once and if u cant enjoy it why bother, i like someone else in the thread have never had economical cars, seeing as my first car was a 150hp xr3i and then an s2 rst and went onto a subaru impreza which was crazy on fuel, i think the main thing about volvo's is they have massive tanks, if i find a cheap lpg conversion kit i will get it though.
