Im getting I will estimate about 45-50 mpg driving this way, NO JOKE! My gas that would normally last me 5 days well I still have some left and its been 8 or 9 days since I put my normal amount in. Keep in mind I live in a very mountainous area so theres always places to coast you know, where you would normally brake to keep with in the speed limit. I throw it in neutral, just dont throw it in neutral if you have cruise control on WOAH! It doesn't retard automatically. :00000732:

wait, i just searched volvo sweden and spoke with olaf johanson, he is the senior vp of archives. he said, and i quote "the actual acronym for the system that you have been joking about is not those. the actual acronym is "RITIW-1-G" when i asked what it meant, he said, really, i thought it was 1st gear. :haha: okay, sorry, i've been waiting to post this for a couple of days. hahahahahahaahahahahahahahaha. ahem, i'm better now. :grin: oh and piece, i tried the coasting trick that you do. the difference is that i loop a length of rope around a truck that is passing by and he pulls me along. i've seen 12 states. of course, i just got back to the restaurant, but i got 369 mpg!!!!!! :grin:

I'm puzzled that no one picked up on that part of my post where, after stating this ingenious device prevents the driver being catapulted through the windscreen, it concludes by stating "thereby preventing further brain damage".
Oh! the subtleness of it all! :haha: :haha: :haha: |

You only got 369 mpg? What about the vortex - that should've sucked you along and lifted the mpg considerably - maybe up around 750 mpg. You need to give her a proper tune-up man! :grin: :grin: :grin: |

after all that beer foam shooting from my nose and the chunks that i spewed, it added weight to the volvo. after a good hosing off, i will try again. if you hear a huge sonic boom, you know i've hit "ludicous speed" oh, and hey piece, are there any good parts left from that volvo? that rim that blew off, is that any good :grin:
