I bought a used Volvo last week, it's about 5 years old. it has the t5 engine.
it says 23 city and 29 hwy (I know, up to)
but I'm getting 14-16 for three tanks now.
before I purchased it, I had an inspection done, and nothing obviously wrong was found.
What should I look for? what could it be? everything is stock.
Volvo c30
Thermostat maybe, if it's popping too soon it'll kill mpg and emissions.
Idk if your state does those though.
sounds like your standard case of "driver is an incompetent retard"
solve by learning how to drive, or with 45 cal aspirin.
oh, also. I don't drive crazy. and my 60k is almost near.

Last time I bought a used car, it ran rich for the first couple of tanks. I think someone reset the computer and it took a while for the computer to stabilize the fuel/air mixture.

Clean the fuel injectors
replace fuel and air filters, spark plugs and wires/coils.

I was put off an old Focus ST with that same turbo-5 because it's said to be outrageously thirsty- to an extent I think they're just like that, OP.

> When CAR ran a long-term ST, we struggled to top 20mpg, way off the claimed combined figure of 30.3mpg. To put that in context, we got similar mpg out of our 6.2-litre Mercedes E63 AMG.
(that's britbong MPG so it'll be a little higher)
