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

[t5 pete]

just woundering what you all get

[Rob S]

I do mainly short runs, with the occassional 1 hour long run. Varied driving, from Vicar to playtime, and get just over 300 miles. I reckon with longer runs and less use of the boost, I'd get nearer 400.

[t5 pete]

Thats about the same as myne

[cameron]

Im unsure tbh

Before i had the PCV done and all associated hoses i was lucky if i'd get 18mpg around town and 38 on a run.

After a good blast today and £30 worth of V power i was averaging 39.6mpg on the way home and that was cruising at 70mph

After a light bit of town driving ( driving miss daisy ) i was still on 35.4mpg

Ive never had the money to fill her to the brim but i reckon if i did id get 400 +

[t5 pete]

on my avg mpg display it never goes above 24mpg.

[cameron]

You must have a heavy Right foot pete

Yours should be beter than mine being a manual.

[t5 pete]

it does do good mpg but the display tryes to tell me different it probley the same as my obd2 port and doesnt work very good

[PaulZX]

I'm dreading what mine will be when she gets back n the road... I've got a trip to Scotland to make 5 weeks aftee she gets her next tax disc.... Might wind the boost back for that journey... lol

[cameron]

OOOOh yeah specially with the 19T

Wind the boost back you must be joking if you want mpg get a grandad car opps forgot we all have grandad cars lol feel the ovlov

[cameron]

I want people too think i have a grandad car

That way the look on their face when i leave them sat will be much more ammusing

[chrisRSVR]

This is of major interest to me as i only on average get 18mpg, this is on a me7 V70? Sorry if i hijacked!

[t5 pete]

your more than welcome if ive just pottering around it says i only get around 19mpg is yours auto of manual

[cameron]

Hey Chris

Is yours an Auto ?

The autos always seem to be worse on fuel than the manuals

Ive only had the above readings by driving as though driving miss daisy, not over 2.5k

No performance but all the frugal consumption, so best of both.

Lovely armchair comfort and large diesel consumption

[chrisRSVR]

no bud its a manual! i must have a led foot?

[PaulZX]

before the 19T, I got 20.3 - 21.9mpg round town and 34.5 -35.5 on the motorway.....

*holding breath*

[chrisRSVR]

Hmmmmm i have a Mitsubishi TD04HL-19T fitted perhaps thats behind the 18mpg, i never even considered it until reading Fridge Movers post? i still think 18mpg is a bit excessive!

[nathT5]

i usually get 270 to a tank but i have had 330, once
most of the time the dash reads 23mpg

What he said

[hd9584]

Usually get between 325-350 out of a tank which is mainly short journeys with a 30 mile drive once a week. Fuel computer says it averages 26.
