We've fallen foul of that one when we've been in Sweden. It makes for some interesting conversations when discussing cruising speed (MPH) and fuel consumption (MPG (or Litre)) with our Swedish friends.
We've also found that cars like ours tend to do higher mileages in Sweden than the UK on account of the greater distances between towns and traffic free roads, conditions which Volvo (and Saab) were built for. Small city cars seem not so much so for the same reason, as anyone who has ever driven from Stockholm to Gothenburg in one in one hop will be able to confirm!
