30+ on the highway makes this a real touring car. City mileage plummets but typically get 27+ combined. The Turbo gives it lots of acceleration when needed and frugal when you leave the turbo alone. see full Volvo V50 review

Really not that great but part of that is I LOVE to kick in the turbo when getting on the interstate or pulling out from a stop sign. see full Volvo V50 review

Keeping those five cyclinders fed burns fuel. On the highway, that's not a problem, but in stop and go traffic, MPG numbers go down and down. see full Volvo V50 review

The fuel economy is terrible. But it is hard to improve the mpg of such a functional and large vehicle. The car would be improved by greater use of aluminum, shutting down cylinders at high speed, and a hybrid drivetrain, even a mild start/stop one. see full Land Rover LR3 review
