#763 of 803 XC70 fuel economy? by fmarti Oct 30, 2005 (1:03 pm)
I'm considering a XC70. My local dealer claims 28 mpg on the road (I live in a rural area, rarely in town) at highway speeds. Is he accurate?

Replying to: fmarti (Oct 30, 2005 1:03 pm) We have an older XC70. It will get 24 mpg on a trip consisting of principally freeway driving. But because of the AWD drive feature, it is tough to get more than about 17 around town.

Replying to: fmarti (Oct 30, 2005 1:03 pm) 28 is pushing it a bit. 26 is probably more realistic.

Replying to: fmarti (Oct 30, 2005 1:03 pm) I have only had mine for a few weeks, but the Consumer Reports 2005 claims overall mileage at 18, city/highway at 12/26, and 150 mile road trip at 22. I would have to agree with these numbers so far. The car is CR recommended for 2005. I have a simple question, I know the owners manual calls for premium fuel, but at $45 a fill up this is a little steep. Is anyone using mid grade, does this cause problems?

Replying to: jaybirds (Nov 08, 2005 8:53 pm) The owner's manual says 87 minimum. My brother's been driving his V70 (non turbo) for 120k on 87, using premium on highway trips, with no problems at all.   I plan to do the same when we get ours this Spring.   Hope this helps.   Pat Replies to this message: jaybirds (Nov 22, 2005 9:37 pm)

Replying to: pilotpat (Nov 09, 2005 8:42 pm) Pat,   Thanks for the tip. With gas prices as high as they are it will certainly help.
#771 of 803 2005 XC70 Break in period? by gaith_menon Dec 02, 2005 (8:52 am)
Our XC70 has a little over 1000 miles on it - I did take it in for the recommended 1000 mile oil change. We have been treating it a gently - not exceeding 60mph, no sudden acceleration etc. But the manual does not indicate that any of this is required. Now we're faced with an 8 hour drive to upstate NY. Can someone shed some light - is a break in period necesary? Can I subject the car to a 8 hour drive when it has about 1100 miles on it?
