Poor mileage-or is it? 700 1992

posted by  someone claiming to be Kevin Cook on  Sat Jun 2 07:42 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I bought my first Volvo, a '92 740 Turbo wagon, in March. It has about 84,000 miles on it and apparently a relatively new turbo. My question is this: I've been getting what I consider to be pretty poor mileage, about 16-18 mpg--mostly around town. The one longer trip we took netted about 23 mpg in mostly highway driving. Is this the norm for this car? I somehow expected 20-22 around town and 25-28 or so on the highway. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks in advance.
