ViperVette Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Quite a random first post there...22 to 23mpg here. Its mixed city and highway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NW T5R Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 typically 20 to 25 mixed. All Hwy run 27-28. This is calculated although the trip computer average is only about .5 mpg off. I usually get 320-330 miles per tank before filing up on mixed city/hwy (still before the light comes on).This is with stock turbo/exh/IPD ECU. 18" pegs with 225/40's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanO Posted November 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 [/colo5r]Thanks Everyone for Writing In about the MPG, It gives Me Insight as , to what I should be getting with the V50 T5-R 6sp. I took it out for a Run thur the Country Side 12.5 Miles , Thur the gears 3000-4500 Rpm Mid Loads and some Heavy Loads for short Periods in each Gear , Man - This Things Rips & Four Wheel Drifts in Gravel Roads , Spinning all Four in Second and Third !MPG Dropped to , as it was pulling the Avg. Down .1 Per Gal , every Time I went thur the Gears, so 27MPGwas Soon down to 25MPG The Air Intake Ducking Looks Small, will have to Eng. something.the 27 came after easy 155 Miles. then Ran the Country Roads , so If I take it out do a reset and do the Country Flyer - Rally RunIt would be more like 23-24Mpg , I don't think this Volvo is going to get 32 on the steady Highway Roads ( Unless only going 65 Mph ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmessina Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Just got my '04 V70R today... It told me it would get 400 miles to the tank. I told it that this was the first tank, and that it shouldn't be so optimistic.I won't have a real gauge of what my mpg will be like for a while yet, sorry :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
