Wife's '05 V70 non-turbo automatic gets 23-24 in the daily drive. On a recent trip it got 32 mpg during a pure highway stretch. Replies to this message: kamala95 (Jun 13, 2006 6:33 am) twobigdogz (Feb 01, 2007 5:58 pm)

#4 of 40 Fuel use: 2004 V70 2.4L non-turbo 5-spd auto by jim314 Jun 14, 2006 (6:30 am)
My wife usually gets 23-24 mpg around town, and on a 1700 mi trip mostly on flat I-49 and I-35 we got 30 to 32 mpg with a/c on at 70-75 mph. On some shorter highway trips with heavier traffic and more agressive driving we get 28 or so. We both drive to optimize fuel economy and safety. But last tank around town got only 18 mpg. This may have been a tank with a lot of extremely short trips.   The EPA est for the 2004 2.4L non-turbo was 22/30 city/highway, but the highway est was only 28 or 29 mpg for the 2005 and 2006 V70.   The 2004 V70 base tire was 195/65-15 Michelin MXV4 Plus which have a max infl pressure of 51 psi, and this may be an especially low rolling resistance model and size. We run them at 38 psi which is the max recommended on the tire sticker. The newer year V70s have a lower profile and wider tire as the base tire and these may have higher rolling resistance. Presumably the lower profile wider tires would have better maneuverability, but most people buy them for their appearance. Replies to this message: jim314 (Nov 27, 2006 8:00 am)
