Engine doesnt even start up for the first 14 miles till i get on the motorway.run in hybrid mode, engine is regularly turning off even on the motorway,going down a decline,slowing down in traffic etc it goes into coasting mode,the generator restarting the engine without you even knowing.very clever stuff.as i said,used/charged correctly you can achieve amazing figures.flip side.forget to charge it,give her some stick and youre down in the teens!! Great fun though.also,any journey over 50 miles of mixed roads and consumption will drop like a stone.my commute is a sweet spot mileage wise,with the advantage of charging at both ends. I regularly get over 70mpg on this trip and when i visit my dad 11 miles away i can go there and back without petrol.taking all that in my ave becomes believable!!

My last car was a hybrid too (Mercedes W205 C300) and managed 50mpg day in day out. Definitely would consider a hybrid or electric car next.
Although I have to say for my 40+ miles each way commute certainly felt less fatigue in the Volvo. Makes the journey more manageable.
