S70 Fuel Consumption

Post by hedgehog »

I have 1997 S70 2.5 10V. Recently on mixed driving I get quite good
milage, but in town use, I get on 360kms on about 55lts. I could get an
extra 100kms on the same amount with mixed driving. I am in Malaysia, not so much gridlocks but a lot of traffic lights. I was told that I am
stepping too hard on the accelerator. But I drive normally, not spirited and always in "E" mode.

What could possibly be wrong with the car? Or me for that matter. :cry:

Thank you kindly.
