Not complaining about fuel costs but would like to know why figures are so far away from Volvo's official ones

A good rule of thumb is, look at the urban consumption figure and that's what you'll get. Anything better than that is a bonus. |

The "official" figures are for one thing only , to compare one car against another in identical driving conditions , ie. on a computer rolling road , not for a recommendation of what YOU will get ..

I'm in same position as blaze591 (original post) and looking the V70 2.0D, if I could achieve an average of 45 from that I would be pleased, and that follows my rule of thumb, gov combined figure less a couple of % Last edited by avtur; Feb 15th, 2009 at 13:28. |

hello to everybody
reading this thread it seems that we are living in different worlds. i transform all your mpg in Km/L. someone get 16 km/l other 14 km/l,someone want to do at least 20km/l. Now, or my v70 is faulty (paying attention i get 12,2 km/l) or i don't know. what i'm sure is that the computer car is exact and driving at 13o km/h it figures 11km/l. can someone of you do this test: drive at 80 miles in drive and check the instant consuption, then put the fifth gear and check the consuption. in my case it decrease of about 1 lt/100km. very strange! bye |

Last tank of fuel - 869km - 65.44l = 7.53l/100km OR in non-napolean - 37.5MPG
OR Volvo claimed figure = 7.4l/100km Not bad |

absolutely very good. i don't know if I'll ever get close that result, 32 mpg it would be very good for me. the consuption still should improve since I did just 5000 km now. i hope for a better result in the future. ciao |

I am upto 21500km - it does slowly get better.
www.spiritmonitor.de to see how you compare to others. Additionally - if your town performance when the engine is warm is still poor - get it checked out by Volvo - I had to have an oxygen sensor reset on mine. |
