I can't tell how much its getting as the odometer works only sometimes, however has 185k on the clock, fan clutch was seized so i got one from the junkyard, that helped with power, also put on a junkyard air mass meter off another 85 volvo, car when cold stubles really bad and has no power even when warmed up. seems to have trouble pulling 4gear overdrive down the highway at 65, its a automatic. however my escort can go 3 days to work on the same amount of gas the volvo will only take me 1 day, so i used about 8 gallons to go 150 miles in the volvo. any sugestions to get it running better would be great.
