What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Volvo S80 MPG
| Volvo S80 Fuel Economy: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.2L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Even though it says it requires Premium in Summer some where in that manual it states I can use 87~89 octane gas without harming the engine. That is helpful to know. With premium fuel and my mainly highway driving with only 2 persons on board we get 25MPG |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 161hp 2.4L I5 Diesel 5-speed automatic FWD |
Very small comparing to other cars |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 268hp 2.9L I6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Excellent city and highway mileage. |
| 2000 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 268hp 2.8L I6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
average 18 MPG |

| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.2L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Very good fuel economy overall but running the AC continuously does produce a noticeable 2-3 mpg decrease in fuel economy. |
