Default V70 T5 Fuel consumption

I recently bought a V70 T5 - I am interested to know what sort of fuel consumption to expect when driven sensibly? > Jerry

Chill !

this topic has been talked about lots, just search back through the old post or search for Fuel consumption.

I average 25mpg combined, I think that is about average for most cars, on a real long motorway run and I mean real long, you might get 30mpg if you drive at around 70mph.

I am obviously not trying !
Got the '99 V70 T5, 50K miles, in November and the fuel has been just under 30 no matter what. Going 10 miles to work and back or 150 miles to Brum at 85 average -- still 30. Put in Castrol magnatec for commuting in cold got the consumption to 30.7.
But I'm not really trying.
