I've been driving a friend's Volvo v50, 2006 wagon, automatic 5 cylinder turbo.
Mix of highway and city driving (in SF. Sometimes going on hilly roads, but not even that often)
I noticed the consumption is really high. I got about 250 on one tank, and from my estimation that's 17 mpg. What gives? What could cause such high fuel consumption? Or do these cars just consume a lot?
Any thoughts? Other Volvoers?
