The best I've had out of The Volvo (B200F with AW-71 autobox) is around 29mpg, but 25mpg is more usual. TV2 routinely gets 30mpg...

740 GLT 1986 "C" Estate
B230e Manual M46 Best approx: 30mpg (on a run) Average: 25-26mpg (day to day around town) Jetex exhaust & filter, magnecor leads, ecotek valve. Tried all sorts over the years to improve MPG but nothing makes any difference! Can get more power & performance but the MPG never changes... Last edited by Rich 264; Mar 10th, 2010 at 23:52.
