Hi,

is it possible to add LPG to an 850 T5, if so what would the likely MPG be.

just wondering about one as a Daily driver

Lots and lots of T5's and even R's have been done and as an example http://volvoforums.org.uk/showthread.php?t=143469

There is a big differnce in MPG between auto and manual, what is yours?

Mine is an auto but wouldn`t say I had much difference from my S70R and auto V70r to be honest,may be 2-3mpg.

Thanks, for the info, I don't have one at the moment.

I'm looking into the possibility of replacing my current car with something a bit more interesting. and am weighing up the pros and cons

Just get a t5 and lpg it mate.If you buying a post 2000 model make sure the clocks are working as they are about £700 if the clocks have a chrome rings that you are good cos it had an improved one fitted,they fixed it from 2004-,also 2.4t5 gains a lot of power from just a remap due to a k24 turbo fitted.
