Default S60 2.0T mpg / tank range?

Hi folks,

I'm considering buying a 2.0T S and would like to know what sort of MPG they give as well as the tank range too? (I do approx 300 - 500 miles a week mixed town and motorway)

A D5 would be my preference but I have a car to trade in and they seem to pretty thin on the ground. My friends garage has 3 nice examples of 2001 2.0T S models priced from £5K - £5995 all with less than 60K

cheers!

70 Litre tank, so that's about 18.5 Gallons.

18.5* 29 = 536.5 Miles to the Tank.

The D5 does 700+

That's not quite right viper - 70 litres is 15.39 gallons. My car usually does around 450 miles per tank

I'm not an economical driver (I let the Turbo kick in quite regularly) and I get 350 to 425 miles out of mine using Tesco 95ron unleaded / BP / Esso / Shell / etc
