Fuel eating N 14's???? Settle down now.... My buyers from South Carolina got 11+ MPG on their trip home from KC to South Carolina. My buyers from Arizona got 9.6 MPG on their 1400 mile trip back to Arizona. (Lead feet?) Both Volvos have N 14 ESP+ 370/435, 1450/1550 variable HP/torque engines. This mileage shouldn't change more than maybe 1 MPG tops when towing a light load like a 20K+ fiver.

That's right there with M 11's. I like um both. Oldphoneman got 13+ MPG on his trip home with his Volvo/400 M 11. That's better than I ever got. Don't know how he did it. High 12s was my best ever with M 11s.

I hear pin striping adds about 10 MPH to your top speed though. 20 MPH if you pinstripe BOTH sides of the truck. =;O)---->
