    Anyone got any good figures for what MPG or lt/100km I should expect
    from an 00 V70 2.0T 70k, on an extra-urban or combined cycle ? (mostly
    4th gear driving, 3-4 traffic lights, 25 miles, 10 times a week) ?

    TIA

  4. Considering my dads Lincoln Mark VII This is good. Used to have a 93 240
    2,3L 116 hp. Manual I got about 11lt/100km.
    But on long High way runs it gave 9,3lt/100km. My V70 Gives me 8,5lt/100km.
    The 2,4 140hp engine gives better fuel consumption in city but not so good
    on high way. The acceleration for the 2,4 engine is terrible after 60 km/h
    at least the automatic. You're fuel consumption also varies with you're
    tires. I used to run 195/65-15 This gave a bit better number's I change to
    205/50-16 gives you a better high way ride but a bit higher consumption.

  5. I have a '99 S-70
    2.4 l, 5 cyl, turbo
    on a 3000 mile trip through eastern US, I got 30 mpg at 70-75 mph.

    So, anywhere between 8.5-12 lt /100km.
    Or, 33.8mpg-23.95mpg

    If Im getting between 23mpg - 35mpg do I have anything to complain
    about ?
    Should I worry about a bad MAM, a dirty throttle housing (its been
    recently replaced) or an over-rich mixture ? Or should I just swallow
    and accept it, and be glad that Ive got heater leather seats, a CD
    player, a very safe car, and reasonably size bank loan ?
