    OK just for a giggle lets Guess the MPG Volvo 850R Automatic over 500 mile trip

    I'm off to Sunny Maidstone on Thursday in the Stealth Bomber

    Now then, Sunny Bramhall to Maidstone 260 miles or so and back, another 260...all that amusing down time on the M25 to consider...Going empty returning with a dissembled Triumph T160 (weighs around 525lb) won't be hanging about, tank is full .
    I'll work the consumption down to a decimal point...what do we think?

    31.6 mpg.

    In my auto AWD on longer journeys I get 35-37 on the screen thingy but I drive like a right Granddad sometimes on the motorway!

    98 V70 AWD - Long Term Companion. Loads of little changes, the Volvo with a twist.
    96 850 R Estate - Pink Pus, project pulled from the weeds!
    Oh, plus a glorious (but dead) 01 Alfa 166 V6 and a 05 Liquid Yellow Clio 182.

    As you won't be hanging about and you'll have plenty of weight on the way back (and it is an auto), i'm going for 26.5mpg.

    That works for me... I'm French side and they just have the bacon rounds here, missing the little fatty tail piece. It's a tragedy I tell thee!
