Hi all, I am thinking of buying a volvo s80 09 plate, 2.4 manual 6 speed gearbox, got 133.000 on the clock, all motorway miles, it is a lot of miles but I've been told that these engine are reliable, as long as you service them. What’s the MPG on these, around town and motorway please. it's got full Volvo serivce and cam belt replaced and has one owner from new. please do advice, never had a big engine before, I had a volvo s40 2.0D mark 2. that was pretty good on fuel.

Around town could be below 30 depending on how much stop/start. I do 600 miles a week on A/B roads (same route and same driving style - brisk but not mad) and record a very steady 43 calculated brim to brim. Computer is remarkably accurate at 41 (under-reads just slightly).
