Car Forum / Volvo Cars / August 2007Volvo 240 Volvo 240 consumptions
Hello I have a 240 Polar. done build for the Italian market with a 2000 cc engine, this engine it crosses 7 kilometers with a liter of gasoline, how much road does it cross a 2300 cc built for the other markets? Thanks for all answers: Devid > I have a 240 Polar. done build for the Italian market with a 2000 cc engine, > this engine it crosses 7 kilometers with a liter of gasoline, how much road > does it cross a 2300 cc built for the other markets? _____ Recent measurements on 1989 240 Volvo Canadian sedan, 5 speed manual tranny, 2.3 l B230 engine: 1) City driving winter - 9.5 to 10.0 km/liter (10.5 to 10.0 l/100km) 2) Highway driving summer - 12.8 to 13.2 km/liter (7.8 to 7.6 l/100km) (Note: location is south west BC, fairly mild winters with lowest temps around -7 to -8 C for a few days)  SignatureRegards / JCH Hi David, I too have a 240 with the 2.3litre engine, a '93 Wagon with 5-speed manual transmission By coincidence I too live in South West British Columbia, Canada, actually on Vancouver Island. Despite the wagon being somewhat heavier than the sedan of "JCH" (perhaps I drive with a lighter foot......), but my city/country driving (hardly any highway driving) generally uses less than 10 liters/100Km (i.e 10 Km/liter), often as low as 9.2 litres/100Km or ~11Km/litre Your 240 seems much thirstier!

Devid > Hi David, > [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > : (Note: location is south west BC, fairly mild winters with lowest temps > : around -7 to -8 C for a few days) The conversion to propane seems like a good idea, Devid! Andy I. : Yes Andy it is very thirsty, it crosses 7 kilometris of highway with a liter : and 5 or 6 in the street urban, but this is a problem of all the Volvos 240 [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] : > : (Note: location is south west BC, fairly mild winters with lowest temps : > : around -7 to -8 C for a few days) Yes Yes, in Italy the price of the propane is around of 0,58 euros ( 0,79 US$) but the price for the gasolina is arround of 1.24 euros (1,70 US dollars ) veeeery expensive !!!!

Or B200FT? :-) And in what kind of conditions? SignatureSakari Ailus http://www.iki.fi/~sailus/ > B200F? Or B200FT? :-) And in what kind of conditions? Very thanks JCH, it is as I thought, the big engine consumes less... My Volvo is in showroom condition , engine Type B200F year 1993 > > B200F? Or B200FT? :-) And in what kind of conditions? > > Very thanks JCH, it is as I thought, the big engine consumes less... Quite possibly so, but IMHO yours consumes way more than it should in normal conditions. My 240 saloon consumes less than 8 l/100 km on mostly countryside at 80 to 100 km/h. It, too, has B200F with M47.
