hi there,

first off, sorry to be posting in english, but I can't talk any dutch at all and this is the only place where I think I might be able to find the info I'm looking for (at least I didn't find it anywhere else on the web). I hope you don't mind.

secondly, here's my question: can anyone tell me what the average fuel consumption of an 850 2.5 20v with automatic transimission (set on economic) is?

thx a bunch

hi there,

I've looked it up for you ( www.autoweek.nl --> Autogids --> carbase )
It says that the average fuel consumption is about 9,2 Liters / 100 Kilometers
the same as 1 liter/ 10,9 Kilometers

Harm

thx!

I think it's a little bit more in real driving conditions...

1 liter / 5 km is more realistic

Hi, it depends what kind of of roads you drive and of course
your drive style.
Fuelconsumption  of my 2,5I  20V Automatic is:

In city 8 kilometer on 1 liter
Highway 11 kilomter on 1 liter
Mixed trafic 9 to 10 kilomter on 1 liter

Regards, Erik

My 2.5 20V automatic estate
Highway => 9km / 1liter    (11.1L/100km)
Averige => 7km / 1 liter     (14.3L/100km)
maximum => 5.6 / 1 liter    (17.6L/100km)

Have you ever visited the English Volvo Club site?
they have a Forum too!
