Fuel consumption of a Volvo MD5

[Richard_Peevor]

Just a quick question...

May have 24 hrs+ of motoring coming up this week, normally for me it's just an hour or two per day so I was just wondering if anyone has the knowledge/experience of the average fuel consumption per hour of the volvo MD5 running at a nice pace...

I appreciate lots of variables but is 1 litre per hour reasonable or is that too low?

Any advice much appreciated.

Obviously I don't want to push it and will take lots but just want to make sure I have plenty of spare.

Many thanks

Richard

1 ltr per 10hp used per hr

30hp engine full chat 3 lts per hr
if 15 hp used (of the 30hp engine) 1.5 lts per hr

Ok, thanks. So it's a 7.5HP I think so 1 L per hour is ok.

Many thanks
