Nowadays some small towns also have problems that we would see more frequently in big cities, including traffic jams

average consumption has been about 7,4-7,5.

when the fuel light goes on, i refuel it with 20€ and drive 'til the light goes on again

got original volvo Thule roof rails, not good for consumption but oh well

prolly use it as payment for my friend for performing the swap, and he will probably touch up the old block and sell it to some boater
