No petrol station in the previous town, really hoping the next
one has one. The car says 200km left to empty tank, but the meter's
on the last white line.
In case you run out before the next station And you're back in
Finland, call 0200-8080. It's the voluntary run car service
(Autoliiton Tiepalvelu), and some local guy will bring you gas.

Volvo's don't lie. Just don't drive like a bat out of hell. Keep that bitch in cruise control mode at 80 to 90 km/h and you should be gold.

All my Volvo's have kept my going at one point or another after the gauge read "0".... Keep it steady and you should be OK...

@sachaqs that town is 70km away according to the sign we just passed. I'm hopeful that we'll be fine. The computer still says 190km left in the tank
