Thinking of joing you guys and getting a 1.8 s40.

Just wondering if anyone can give real world mpg figures both city and motorway. reasonably light footed.

Thanks

Official figures for the Volvo S40 1.8S Phase 2. Year 2002 (manual 5 speed)

Combined - 36.2mpg

Urban - 25.7mpg

Extra urban - 47.1mpg

My own experience is the fuel consumption is "average"

If insurance is not an issue then you might as well buy a 2.0T or T4 as they aren't far behind in overall fuel consumption and they are considerably quicker.

My 1.8 is surprisingly not that much better than my mums 9-5 2.3 Aero (250hp) drive the Saab with care and it's impressively eco for it's size and power.
