with that diesel and the electric motors (100% available torque @ 0 rpms), im surprised it doesn't have more! im sure a few limiting modifications can be changes to make that sucker burn rubber like you've never seeen...

150 miles per imperial gallon would be something like 125 miles per US gallon

Yet again...Volvo delivers.

I think it's the ongoing plug-in hybrid MPG test issue. MPG tests take place over a certain number of miles, plug-in hybrids get a certain number of fuel-free miles at the beginning of the test. Then the engine kicks on and uses fuel for the last part of the test. Resulting in an odd figure.

Not entirely a good figure to use, they need to start incorporating the energy stored in the batteries at the beginning of the test somehow.
