Is 25 m.p.g. a reasonable fuel consumption for my 2000 1.6l Volvo V40.

Question

It's regularly serviced, I don't drive like a maniac and is mainly used on journeys of up to 5 miles in town.

Answer 1

I think that is very poor , I have an 2003 s40 1.8l remapped ecu and straight through exhaust and I get 29.8 around town and 34+ on long runs , Get it checked out  

Answer 2

for in town journeys that's pretty good.  the volvo's are a little heavy and will tend towards lower fuel economy than a corolla or civic.

Answer 3

Yes, you are over where the government deems your fuel economy to be.
