Volvo S80 Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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 see full Volvo S80 review
2005 4dr Sedan turbocharged 161hp 2.4L I5 Diesel
5-speed automatic FWD		 Very small comparing to other cars see full Volvo S80 review

4-speed shiftable automatic FWD		 Excellent city and highway mileage. see full Volvo S80 review
2001 4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I5
5-speed automatic FWD		 I've had this car for 13 years now and the mpg has always been very good. Being a European model (2.4 litre petrol auto - 170 bhp) it does not compare directly with any US models. I have the air con on 100% of the time. If I keep to the speed limit - 80 -85 on the speedo I get 35 mpg (English gallons!) without any problem. On a holiday trip to Portugal doing long distance driving and at slightly slower speeds - say 70 mph on the speedo - I managed 40 mpg over nearly 1,500 miles. In town stop start driving I will usually get 25 mpg. Impressive figures I think for a 13 year old vehicle weighing as much as it does. see full Volvo S80 review

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. see full Volvo S80 review

7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Excellent. We average 27 on the highway travelling at 70+mph see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2009 4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Pleasantly surprised by first tankful. 16.2 mpg in the city. Mostly used "comfort" setting which starts out in 2nd gear and shifts early. With this nonaggressive profile, city driving economy is improved. Premium gives better gas mileage than regular (about 5% on comparable tankfuls). On Comfort setting, no difference in performance is noted. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2008 4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 It easily gets to 20 mpg on highway. About 18 on mixed driving see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review

7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Excellent fuel economy with the diesel, especially when driven gently. Also amazing power at the same time see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2007 4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 15mpg city....25 mpg highway....combined is around 17-18 mpg. Not bad considering how heavy this car is. Of course i am very light to the pedal trying to keep my mpg high. Gas is too expensive nowadays so if i don't need to be fast, i am keeping it steady. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2006 4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Much better than expected for a very large and long vehicle. Close to 25MPG on longer trips. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review

2007 4dr SUV 302-horsepower 5.0L V8
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 F-E is poor because of the weight to power ratio. The vehicle is heavy. With the available power, it is easy to drive faster and to maneuver through slower traffic. Frequent acceleration results in lower gas mileage. see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
2006 4dr SUV 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 I would probably choose a diesel next time for efficiency reasons - but the additional premium fuel required in the V6 is negligible once the car is paid for....soon now. Very lively engine too. I foresee a hybrid R class type vehicle after 2011... see full Mercedes-Benz R-Class review
