re: "...I'm wondering about your gas mileage though... Even the best Volvos will use almost 2 gallons or maybe 7.6 liters for that distance. You cite 1.6, 1.25 and 1.15 liters for that distance. Must have been pretty steep downhill, eh?..."

I'm wondering if he has a smaller engine than normally found here. In Europe, it's common for the cars to have diminutive engines (e.g., a big S-class Mercedes with a 2.0 liter engine), often below 2 liters -- that's a cutoff for a large savings in taxes, I've heard.
