Does the 2010 Volvo S40 AWD need premium gas?
Every trim takes regular — no premium needed.
| Trim (engine / transmission) | Fuel | MPG | Fuel/yr |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.5L 5-cyl, S5 automatic, AWD | REGULAR | 22 | $2,850 |
| 2.5L 5-cyl, 6-spd manual, AWD | REGULAR | 22 | $2,850 |
The EPA records the fuel each version was tested on. Whether premium is strictly required or just recommended is an owner's-manual detail the EPA dataset doesn't include — so we don't guess it.
