There is actually a few Volvo owners here on the site if I recall.

I checked the garage and have been looking at some volvos.

The one I drive is a 740 turbo wagon. EPA rated at 18 MPG combined, turbo and automatic.

So far what Im doing is putting the car in neutral while stopped so the engine isnt trying to push the car foreward, and at stop lights Engine off. Besides that theres the usual feather footing and keeping real light on the gas pedal. And always trying to keep a coast at intersections to keep momentum during red lights.
