Gas mileage of a 90-93 240 m5

Hello everybody. I just signed up here and I'm wondering what type of gas mileage you are all getting out of your manual transmission 240's.

I currently own a 95 Camaro Z28 and I get about 22 MPG on the freeway and the car requires 91+ octane. So I'm looking to get a cheap, reliable, fuel efficient car as a daily driver. I drive about 30 miles round trip to school mon-fri.

Welcome to Matthew's Volvo Site.

I shall let other members who currently own 240s answer this one as my 240 days were back in the 1980s.

nobody checks their gas mileage anymore?

Obviously they all have enough money to not worry about trivia!

On my 240 I was getting about 25mpg on urban driving and 30+mpg on long runs. Of course that was using Imperial gallons, not US.

I hope that helps.

Bill.
