Just bought an '07 3.2L 6 cyl with 28 miles on it. Driving has been approx. 60/40 (highway/city). After using the first full tank of gas the results are: Calculated mpg: 16.0 (321.8 miles / 20.1 gallons) Computer mpg: 17.1 I hope it gets better.

| I've had my 04 T6 for a few weeks now, and over the first 1000 miles (80/20 hwy/city) have averaged 21.5 mpg. On the last highway trip (about 110 miles)the trip computer showed 24 mpg. With 12k miles on the odometer, the engine is nicely broken in. | |

Wife's T5AWD/5seat has recorded this MPG through 7800 miles: Avg: 16.47 (mostly urban/suburban) Worst:13.20 Best: 24.39(twice) (pure highway) (All manual calculations)

Replying to: coldcranker (Nov 13, 2006 8:39 pm) The XC90 is bigger, taller, has a larger frontal area, and sits higher off the ground It also weighs 4500+ lbs compared to 3900+ lbs for the Freestyle. The XC90 is rated  17/23 for a fwd.

Replying to: volvomax (Nov 15, 2006 2:55 pm) The XC-90 is taller, though. Here are the numbers: Exterior XC90 vs. Freestyle Length 189.3 in., 199.8 in. Width 74.7 in., 74.4 in. Height 70.2 in., 65.9 in. Weight 4400 lbs. 3900 lbs Wheel Base 112.6 in., 112.9 in. Ground Clearance 8.9 in., 8 in. EPA City/Hiway MPG: 17/23, 20/27 So for a slightly larger (longer) vehicle, the Freestyle is a little lighter and gets better MPG. The extra weight and ineffecient tranny in the XC-90 probably soaks up the MPG. The Freestyle has an efficient CVT tranny. The extra height certainly hurts the MPG as well.

Replying to: coldcranker (Nov 15, 2006 5:54 pm) Look at the volume stats the longer nose on the Freestyle translates to better airflow. That, and the lower weight and lower clearance of the Freestyle. Bottom line is that they are different vehicles.
