Essex Jct. Vermont down to Boston and return: 433 miles/11.4 gal= 38mpg....Not bad considering it was a lousey trip for 2 reasons. I got stuck in traffic 10 miles out of Boston (Big Dig back-up) and crawled, stop and go, the whole way. The return trip, all 216 mies was in steady rain! I attribute the milage to my new K&N cylinder filter set-up...which seems to have a big improvement milagewise over the stock air box! I think that w/o the rain and traffice I was looking at between 41 and close to 42mpg!!!! Question?....How do I post pic's? I dressed up my engine compartment with the plastic/chrome VOLVO nameplate "over the (raised) Volvo letters" on the plastic engine shrouding.....and it looks sharp! I guess if you have a '02, they got rid of the plastic shrouding, surrounding the engine. I also want to send in a pic of my K&N set-up! Thanks to all for the milage tips...I think my best shot for now, is aerodynamic adjustments! Thanks, Bill

Great, sounds pretty sweet. 40 mpg for a turbo car is pretty sweet!
Ok, to post a picture goto post reply instead of just typing in the little box. Then, you'll have the option of uploading a picture below the text box and WallaW you've got pictures!
I try to keep mine in 640-480 because you have a memory limit, plus it makes it easy to see the whole picture in the screen.
