Hi
after weather bomb hit no power for 4 days. Winds touched 130mph. Then 2 days of thunder snow and hail. Volvo excelled itself in most alpalling weather conditions blizzards and worse hail storms in living memory. Know how storm chasers feel not an experience to repeat. DID NOT DRIVE UNTILL WIND DROPPED TO 40-50MPH. With winter tyres could go everywhere a 4wd went on roads. Average mpg is 37.8. Amazing considering winter fuel mix and having to run demister heated mirrors etc etc and using wrong gear for eco driving.
