is this normal gas milage?
 
Hey there, just wondering if i'm getting normal fuel consumption on my 2006 V70 2.5T?
when i first got it used about a year ago i was getting close to 600km to a tank(light just coming on)...now a days i get between 500-530 (max) to a tank..
my driving pattern has been the same. I do have a bit of "stop-n-go" traffic in the morning and a bit at night...this is without the a/c running.
in terms of maint:
changed plugs
fuel filter
air filter (k&n direct fit)
tranny fluid flush
religious on the oil changes
tires properly inflated (on 17" mags)
i sometimes run some injector cleaner

any ideas? thanks

What is your average speed on your trip computer?

Rspi...hmm i have to check..i noticed tonight the average L/100km is about 11.3
if there is no traffic on the road i usually cruise between 120-140km/hr....i try to keep the speed steady...

11.3 liters/100 km = 20.8mpg and 130km/hr = 81mph

Mileage ain't going to be great at 80mph plus stop-and-go, so not so bad.
