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.

Yea Dave repetetive threads bore me sometimes, but i'd rather start a new thread than hijack another and alter the topic, thats worse than middle lane hoggers in my book. Although i'm sure i do it too lol...

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.

Thanked 269 Times in 187 PostsI 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?????

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.WARNING! Some of the above may be my unbiased opinion, sarcasm, or just total bo****ks.
