    Is anybody running one of these combinations and getting 8 mpg consistently? I have heard from volvo dealers that it's true but havent found a driver who says yes. If so, what kind of trailer do you pull and what is your avg loaded weight?

    I'd also like to hear from a driver with one of these. The advertisements brag about being able to run at very low RPM at 65 mph, but hey never mention what happens when you are in California or Oregon!
