I've purchased the Inscription T-5 through the Overseas Delivery Program and will be leaving for Europe next Saturday. We plan on driving down through Germany and visiting a few of our favorite places in Germany, then into France, and doing the turn in at Frankfurt in early November. I'm taking my Garmin Nuvi which has a European Map on an SD card, because my guess is that the Volvo GPS is set up for a Norther America Map. We've lived in Europe previously so we should have no problems navigating around and enjoying getting to know our new Volvo. But one question that I have is the fuel range on these new XC40's. The T-5 is supposed to get 26 MPG combined city/highway and with a 14.2 gallon tank it should be good for an easy 350 miles between fill ups, but I'd like to know if that 26 MPG average is realistic. So I'd really like to hear from those who have the XC 40's with the T-5 what kind of mileage you're experiencing. Most of my driving in Europe will be on the autobahn, and my mileage will probably suck for the first 500 miles or so during break in, and at Autobahn speeds it will be even less, but I'd still appreciate knowing what others are seeing.
