    That's with a manual transmission. The slushbox on a 240 saps 2-3 mpg on
    average.

    Since my V70 is a 98 I understand that there is no flame trap!

    Any other thoughts on where my oil may be going? The Check Engine
    Light is on and I get an 072 message, rich fuel, etc.

    Thanks!

    I get the same gas mileage with 89 and 87 so 87 is much cheaper for me.
    I never got as low as 16. It is always between 23 and 25 around town in
    both the '93 and '95 850 wagon nonturbos. My '01 V70 XC AWD turbo gets
    20 to 22 around town. They both all around 30 on the highway.
