The gas mileage on my 2000 Volvo S80 is about 20 for in town and 25-30 for highway, and that's with premium gas. You're getting some great gas mileage out of your car! :D

I thought it might be something along this line. I'm assuming that this motor turns itself off and on to adjust the air in the cab? :D

I would get a S60 if I was going to try and race a Volvo. And even then I think there are much better cars to tune out there. :D
