This is an open area so I would like people to put information on any car in this thread. Better yet, it would be good for all of us if you loaded the government website up with you data. I put 2 cars and a Jeep in there.

Please let us know what kind of gas milage you are getting with your cars, etc. Put what type of car it is. Several have posted what their milage is but not what kind of car they have???

 

My 960 gets about 23.6 mpg. I have new Michellen fuel rated tires on it and drive modestly. Average speed is 34 mph.

My 850 R gets 22 mpg with the A/C and 24.5 without. Average speed is 33 mph.

The '04 Jeep Grand Cherokee, I6 was getting 19.9 mpg. The best was 23 mpg on the highway and got as low as 16.7 around town.

Haven't really checked the S70 GLT yet but I think it was getting about 30.4 mpg on the highway.

 

My pickup:
MPG (city) 12
MPG (highway) 16
MPG (combined) 14

I'm getting about 15-16 combined.

 

96 n/a 850 25.6 MPG
04 XC90 2.5t 22.8 MPG
I live in Arizona so A/C is on all the time

 

My S70 gives me 27 on my daily commute and 35 on a trip.
My Saab 9-3 gives me 27 on my daily commute.
My Chev Sierra = 13.

 

Wow. I can't belive how good everyones gas mileage is. I'm getting around 15 city 19 highway in my 98 S90.

 

1995 volvo 850 ,2000 20v just replaced gear box and im averaging 36mpg .It used to be 29. and the overall average speed to work is 31mph.

 

Well in my 99 s70 t5 i get about 22mpg, i also run 91 octane..

website says 19city and 26highway..

not as good as i could get but not bad i guess..

 

at the moment my s40 i have done 90 miles for 50 pound and its 1.14.9 a litre at the moment im hopeless with maths can any1 work out my mpg thanks yeah a know now i should of stuck in to school lol

 

My 2009 S40 T5 AWD gets about 24 MPG in mostly highway driving running 93 octane. The few times I've run with 87 I get about 1MPG less. Around town I'm lucky to get about 20-21.

Also have a 2001 Toyota Highlander V6 that gets just around 20 MPG in mostly highway driving.

 

The last time I took mine on a long trip, I averaged about 28 to the gallon on the highway, usually at about 70-75MPH.

 

hi, new guy here. just got my first volvo a couple of weeks ago (for my 16 year-old son. he has to learn to drive in something, right?) it's a 93 854, stock everything, 225,000 on the clock. anyway, i just put a tank of regular through it and got 26.7mpg, mixed highway/suburbs, almost all a/c on. now it has a tank of premium in it, so we shall see...

my other cars: family car '05 grand caravan: 16-19 around town, 28 on a road trip.

boat hauler '88 grand wagoneer: 11-12, no matter what.

my commuter wind-up toy '00 honda insight: about 76 on a year-'round average basis. best tank: 82. best commute: 92.

 

I'll post some graphics, since fuel economy is something of a hobby of mine:




Hoping for the next tank to turn out around 22mpg on the Volvo. It's hard with as short of a commute as I have, sometimes the t'stat doesn't even open.

 

Lately I have been driving like an old lady. Using hypermilling techniques and I'm getting 25.6 MPG in the T-5R. I try not to go over 70 MPH, usually 65, and the average speed is 34 mph.

 

You should get a road bike to go back and forth to work! lol

 

I actually probably should, it's only 1,7 miles each way to work for me, hence why my gas mileage is so low...most times I'm on my Harley though.

I did log 30,98mpg on an almost all highway trip last week though. And that was with the a/c running and using cruise. I'll bet 33-34mpg is attainable without both.

 

Please post what kind of car you have and if it's been moded, disclose that as well.

 

1990 740 turbo wagon, Freds chips, 14psi on stock turbo, 2.5" exhaust. Gets 10.5l/100km (22.5mpg) whether it be around town or on the highway. Pretty exceptional for something that will kill anything else short of a V8.
Our big Mitsubishi Magna (Diamante) sedan, with the 3.5 litre V6, gets 11.5l/100km (20mpg) around town and dips into the 7's (30mpg) on the highway.

Regards, Andrew.

 

Maybe you need to get it on the road. Just returned from a week-end trip that let me drive 240 miles on the Interstate Hwy., roundtrip. Traffic was not a problem and I had the cruise on 79 (75 being the limit). There were several long hills, so it was not all flatland, nevertheless I managed to average 24 mpg ! The S90 has 150K miles, fresh triple electrode Bosch plugs, a new air cleaner element and Big O Euro tires,( inflated all the time to 44 p.s.i.). I think that by keeping the Volvo tuned is the key to any good mileage. I use regular pump gas.

 

My gas milage drops when I go over 65 mph.
