Has it always been this thirsty?

I seem to recall there was a 2 litre carb engine produced around 1985 with a Solex Cisack (not sure if that is the correct spelling) carb that was very thirsty. A Volvo mechanic told me a London TV company had a fleet of them and threatened to cancel the contract with Volvo if something was not done. Every car was fitted with a different engine.
