I have a 98 V70 awd that someone did a T5 swap in so it?s basically an R without the interior and trim. The awd works and I overall really like the car. Only issue is the fuel economy. I?m getting anywhere between 15 and 17 mpg. I have a check engine for an evap leak but nothing else. I?ve done plugs, wires, and cap and replaced some vacuum lines. Still need to do the PCV on it. I don?t drive really hard. My 94 850 turbo wagon got 22 mpg all year long. Does the awd really cause that big of a drop in fuel economy? I don?t want to start throwing parts at it if it really can?t be increased. I only really use the car in the winter so I?ve been considering getting another 740 or 940 wagon instead for the winter months.
