21 city

28 highway on slightly hilly gradients. should hit 30 on flat spots.

I have a 2003 Volvo s80, got 25.5 on last tank, and 26.3 on the first, had a 98 s70 before and my average was 27.0

My '96 855 got consistently around 30 highway on a roadtrip last summer. Haven't checked city mileage.

on the highway what do you think is the most efficient speed to ride at for the best mpg? 60,65,70? i usually do 70. What about you guys.

Just took a 1,000 mile trip with my 98 S70 T5 automatic and overall I got 28MPG. I ran premium fuel and when I track it on the computer I get about 28 at 72 to 75mph and I can get up to 32 at 54 mph. Also, if I catch a truck going around 70 I will draft behind it for about an hour and get 45mpg doing that.
