I never have a full tank, save weight means saving fuel!
What I really mean is that I'm too tight to fill it up lol
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.
s60 2.4 t5 eibach springs,up rated rear anti roll bar, poly bushed wishbones, poly lower engine mount, fmic, bmc air filter, 3" decat, 2.5" stainless exhaust,hlm remap 328bhp,
best is on the m1 leeds bound its 50mph and sometimes 40mph thats when you watch the mpg climb.
ya ya i have a big turbo car but its sometimes the fun to see what mpg a volvo can really do. as motorways are sooo dull, on a run to cornwall last week from york i did about 480 miles on a full tank and that was going to raf brize norton 1st.
39 ish at 70mph. A healthy engine with clean injectors, filters and oil will give good economy when you want it and power when you need it.

Got an old discovery now.
I'm getting around 23 mpg around town quite pleased with it tbh as I get 8 out of the evo ,
My mobile office ,
before I took mine off the road I was getting on average 12 mpg................................but I don't care lol
full respray..plenty of body mods..comets..ray cat back noise pipe..decat and wrapped downpipe..me7 exhaust manifold..3" throttle body with ported inlet manifold..blue injectors..adjustable fuel reg..reverse intercooler pipework..19t..open cone air filter..255 fuel pump..m-r-p short shift..boost gauge..unknown remap..adjustable suspension..lightweight crank pulley..n/a cams..stripped out interior..and a heavy right foot
I get about 24 on petrol and 18 on LPG at the moment, but I haven't finished the stage 0... and I have an LPG leak
Thats a mix of motorway and heavily congested city traffic. The trip computer was showing around 28mpg on the drive back from Seb's (over the snake pass), but I was taking it very steady then, new car and all that...
Currently - '96 850R auto
Previously - '97 S70 T5 manual, '98 V70R AWD auto, '98 V70R Auto in Nautic Blue Mica with LPG (went to Germany!), 1996 850R Auto, lots of various 940s, 960s and a crappy 850 2.0
I struggle to get 25 - 26 mpg average and that's driving carefully, resetting the computer before each trip and before starting the engine.
If I rag the car about I get about 20 - 21 mpg over the journey. Dreadful considering this time last year I was getting 30+ mpg.
Managed a nice 34mpg on the way to Stratford yesterday (about 180 mile round trip) then had a bit of fun on the quarter mile followed by a spirited drive home to finish off at 28.8mpg
