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

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 27MPG

was 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 Run

It 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 )

im not to sure what i get in the states, but in Hungary i would get around 8 liters to 100 km thats in the city, on the highway i would get 20 liters to 100 km :D ( when there are only 2 police potroling the who 300km highway its hard to go so slow at 130 KPH. Plus every one with a newer cars hauls jerk there ;) )

this was with a s40 1.6, I was paying $1.50 PER LITER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3.69 liters in one GALLON 1.50X3.69= ~$5.50 and that was in hungary, in Austria 1.3 - 1.5 EURO PER LITER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On nearly bald Falkens at 40psi: 33mpg at steady 70mph, 30mpg average on road trips, 24 average overall in regular day-to-day driving.

Now with 38psi in Potenza RE960AS: 28mpg(!) at steady 70mph, 25mpg average on road trips, 19mpg average overall in regular day-to-day driving.

All of this on 94 octane, 'course. Thank you, Sunoco.
