    Is your Volvo a VN model? You can check your mpg through the digital display screen.

    That's excellent gas mileage for a TA (V8, right?). Like I said, I never would have guessed. Later, QD.

    Yes, sir. 5.7 liter V8. Regardless of what a lot of people say, GM did a great job with the LS1/T56/3.42 gear combo. It takes some easy driving city, but I can do anywhere from 55-85mph on the interstate and average about the same.

    I have the screen... But again, I drive for 30 min (average) and then sit on-site for 24 hr (if it's hot/cold outside the truck is idling for the climate control).

    I don't do the typical truck driver routine.
