    How's the DEF numbers?
    I mentioned to another driver that the Freightshakers seem to be using a noticeably higher amount of DEF.
    He said they all do when the weather gets really cold.

    Both Volvos that I drove back in my former life slurped that DEF down once outside temp got below 35 degrees. Weird.

    I think it's speed / work load on the engine that varies DEF use.

    Usually 1 gallon to 30 gallons fuel is about average. We're doing a little better than that at the moment.

    I was sleeping as a rhinoceros, but have been awakened by a giant puddymungous.

    That’s about right. I’m somewhere between 30-35:1. But I burn twice as much fuel as you so I’m about 135-140 miles per gallon on def. I haven’t checked my numbers in a while.

    . Just a age and style difference I love body color fenders but think the pinstripes start to look busy. It’s just my opinion we can’t all think the same or life would be boring fat girls would be lonely and Volvo would not exist.

    It's HP too. The only way to get more horsepower is more fuel. More fuel = more DEF.
