General: High Mileage Club Member

[Shadeyman]

Just wondering if I'm the only XC90 owner who's vehicle is a member of the official "Volvo High Mileage Club"?

Not quite there yet, approx another 25k to go. Another year to 18 months and I should've reached the bronze level membership.

Mine was just under Bronze Level when I brought it. We've put just over 1000 miles on her since then so I registered and received my free Bronze Window Sticker this morning. I'm amazed how Volvo's do hundreds of thousands of miles and still run perfectly ..

We're not far off bronze

In fairness the Government should fund the badge... As a thank you for the amount of tax it cost to get that far.... Kinda like a loyalty badge

Cool ... only 115k off silver :O . Think i'll add my name to the bronze list - but if you added my previous 2 (V70 & XC70) i'd only be 100k off gold ;-)
Cheers for that Shady ..

At 28 mpg real and £1.4 per litre.. That's £34,000 so at least £17,000. I think do not understand how the governments managed to have a constant defifit every year. Add income tax, corporate tax ( ok not google and starbucks), vat on everythink we buy.. How do they manage this?

Anyway, the xc90 is not the best tool for high mileage. A c30 drive e would probalycost almost half i.Fuel.Wonder if you would not be better to keep the xc90 for when you need it and use the c30 regularly?
