T5? Stick this up your R's

**stephenevans99** · Monday 4th June 2012, 20:12

Filled my D5 up at my local Shell in Singleton and then drove to the Trafford Centre in Manchester, the photo shows the range AFTER the 50 mile trip. It's amazing the range on these things if you stick to 65-70mph on the motorway.

Might try 56mph with the door mirrors folded in next time !!

poor effort

**M-R-P** · Monday 4th June 2012, 20:16

well, before Pedro jumps in with his Pic of 1000 + miles to an empty tank, let me ask you...
Have you managed to hit 143mph in 4th yet?

D5 is very, very good but it aint T5 and this is, after all, the Volvo PERFORMANCE club

Well done dude but you wouldn't pull my keys from my hand with 10000 miles to a tank

I could have done the york trip and back on a 1/4 of a tank with one of those......................... i think i'd have struggled to keep up with the rest of the convoy though. lol

They'd have had to keep stopping so you could catch up. pmsl

Don't flatter yourself. There's not THAT much difference in performance between a D5 and a T5 !!

lol

Trust me the computer lies, mine will consistently over read by 100 miles.

It assures me I'm getting 43 yet working it out I'm getting 38.5 which considering it's mapped and I drive 'quickly' isn't that bad IMHO. Far better economy than before it was mapped; computer would calculate 37.5.

i've ran out of fuel twice now with the trip computer still saying over 100miles to empty lol

**t5_monkey** · Monday 4th June 2012, 21:03

I'd take 150 miles that makes me feel like this:

Thank 15,000 miles like this:

**stephenevans99** · Monday 4th June 2012, 21:19

But imagine all the money you could save by driving a D5, all that ca$h to frivolously spend in the chav basket at halfrauds.

I love my D5......tomorrow I'm gonna wear my wellys & flat cap and drive my John Deere with pride !!

Screw you octane addicts - I'll trundle pass you all....................eventually!!
