I have a 1998 V70 T5 auto. I ran it last week to see what sort of MPG i would get. Some long runs and some short.
Turns out i'm getting 22mpg
Interested to know what sort of figures yo guys are getting.
Cheers Craig.

Only had my S70 t5 for a week and averaging 24 at the moment, mostly city driving at present.
Oh dear
My 1632Kg lump manages an average of 25 round town and 39 on a run. 37@75mph
Manual box tho, and reconditioned injectors (they make a big difference).
Shouldn't the auto's motorway mpg be really high, bringing the average up?

Got an old discovery now.
Not worried about the mpg as I only drive the car about 6 miles a week. Was just wondering what everyone else got.
I get 20mpg in my 2.5T (lpt lump) using Tesco around town, usually 26mpg using V power
On a run last week to pick up some wheels i was getting 41mpg at 55mph, using V Power which I was impressed with. But I can only manage to get 33/34mpg using Tesco fuel
I lot of peeps dont work it out accurately tbh, fill the tank go for a drive then refil again to get the correct mpg. longer the more acurate.
note how many ltrs of fuel divide that by Gal, then divide the miles by how many Gal you have used.
My recent trip to Sparkford 430 mile round trip mine achieved 24 mpg on the way down there, 32mpg on the way back, That was with a clogged Air filter. (dont ask) long story lol

i get less than 15 mpg makes me think theres something not quite right on the car any suggestions what to check for
I was getting approx 28mpg on my P2 T5 geartronic but since ive had it serviced (just an oil and filter) and had 2 new front tyres and the alignment sorted. I can only manage about 25mpgs, weird or what?!

My long term average is 29.5 and mainly urban ish or country lanes that's over about 3000 miles
2004 V50 T5 SE
over the past week I have averaged 22mpg on my auto R, this has been around town and roughly 10-15 miles a day.
Im not using any fuel computer, but working out by the miles travelled and how much fuel i put in until the light comes on steady. I have a HLM remapped 2.5/2.4T (same engine) LPT C70 manual, and i always get mid to high 30's avarage, but dont really do much/any town driving. I find my C70 quite economical for the power it has, im well pleased with MPG compaired to my previous 850's. C70 is also better on fuel than the 2.0 Honda Accord which i just sold, and much quicker and more comfy.

getting 49 mpg consistantly out the 2.5 tdi, wish i could afford to run a petrol but 20k miles per year means its all diesel for me
Managed just over 30mpg today in my manual V70 R. 250 miles of mainly decent driving, and a clean cone filter. Filled her right upto the neck this afternoon to arrive at this fig rather than the OBC which is on 29.2, but not reset for over 6 months.
My R does about 24 around the area I live up hill and down dale. on a run around 29/30. when im playing.....hells the limit????
15.5mpg average
