My Spritmonitor.de records (incomplete):

1) 1978 Volvo 343DL B14.0E CVT

Best: 30.7 mpg / Worst: 20.0 mpg

2) 1982 Volvo 343DL B14.2E CVT

Best: 33.6 mpg / Worst: 24.0 mpg

Click on icons to see breakdown of figure or look up other cars. I'd expect it to be in the ballpark 25.7 - 35.3 mpg for general use, but short journeys I'd expect could pull it below 20. Do the 87- cars not have the idle solenoid cut-off relay to help out?
