I was getting about 24 mpg in my 94 850T on the highway at 65 mph. Then I had the PCV system overhauled and mileage went to 29 mpg.

i drive my 94 850 fairly hard, getg 20.5 in 'round town, 28.5 on a flat trip at 65 to 70, down to 24 at 75 plus, put it on cruise for a tank, at 63, on a trip and see whatcha git.

Since I've been telecommuting and only short distance driving, I've gone down to 18MPG! Previously, my mileage was about what you're getting. I've logged in every fill for 172,000 miles, it never changed much.

Your around town milage is appropriate for the 850T. Highway whould be about 2-3mpg more, but that depends a lot on tire tread design/maker and pressure.
Do not rely on the computer to tell you what the miles/tank are, you need to calculate it yourself: miles divided by gallons. My computer told me I was getting 23.3 at a steady 84mph,into the wind across Nebraska, and when I tanked up I got 26+.

Remember to use E when you are on the Interstates :)

Believe you are on target for that car. Once you get into the 98 S-70 mileage is better with a different fuel management system. Our 94 850 gets what you do but my 98 S 70 T5 gets 26-29 mpg. BTW, never has a 240 that got the mpg you claim unless I feather footed it.

I am the original owner of a 1995 850 Turbo 850 sedan.

You are fine - my 850 get's same MPG now as new. Completely in line with your MPG.

Have fun - these are great cars.
