    Hi friends,
    Can anyone advise me how the Volvo 850 station or V70 compares with
    LPG or diesel. I'm used to driving an 850 station on LPG, I'm really
    satisfied, but have the impression that the mileage is getting worse.
    (1 liter to 7.5 km). I also heard that the head can get hotter with
    LPG. I'm sure there are other points to be aware of. We ride LPG
    because its the most enviomentaly friendly. But, whats the story with
    diesel? These days it must be a lot cleaner, but what are the
    drawbacks. I need to compare these 2 fuels as I'm going to buy a newer
    Volvo 850 station or V70.
    Any advise?
    thx

    I can't give you advise on the LPG but I'm driving a V70 D5: 16-18 km/l
    on the highway and 12-13 km/l in mixed operation. The car has
    particles-filter, goes 220 km/h and is in less than 9s on 100 km/h. I
    switched two years ago from a 260 hp T5.
    HTH,
