If I change is about 12 months it will be to a S80 V8 with all the bits. and hope it will have sat nav with post codes. LOL
If I drive surreptitiously along the nearside lane of the M1 (usually causing a slight tailback as people slow because they spot a black Volvo doing 65mph!) I can get 30+mpg. I usually ruin it though by getting bored
