V70 2.4 fuel mileage

Post by SOURDOUGHJIM »

First trip in the Volvo. 229 miles, used 7.14 gallons. 32 mpg. Better than I was expecting! Is this average for the V70 2.4? (Mostly highway, 55 to 65 mph)

FWD? Turbo?

My 08 2.5T FWD is good for around 32mpg at 55-65mph. When I push it to 65-75mph it drops off to around 28mpg.

Thanks Krons. Yes, it's a FWD, naturally aspirated.
