Fuel consumption comparison
This obviously is not a scientific comparison,but on my commute over winter and with the original TPS sensor-car rarely revved above 2,000 to avoid well known idle/running problems-the V70 averaged[according to computer readout]21.5mpg,since fitting contactless TPS and getting it running properly again readout is now 22.3mpg-but more of the rev range is used.My commute has remained exactly as before and within a few minutes either way as regards times travelled.Some or all of this improvement could of course be down to the warmer weather.By comparison my Omega[3L auto as opposed to 2.4L manual]over the same commute shows an average of 14.5mpg,even so if I had to get rid of one of them it would be the V70 that went as I have a greater sentimental attachment to the Omega.
