If Volvo had've continued the chassis in a low floor and Euro compliant form, they'd go like hotcakes no matter how fuel efficient modern vehicles are. In fact, I've been told that the Palatines returned the same MPG as the B7s on the TTX.
Lee was talking about the DAF SB120/Wright Cadets rather than the Volvo B10BLE/Wright Renowns. Although it's probably heavily based on their set up (to produce a greater miles per gallon), the former lack power and are incredibly slow. The Volvo B10BLEs are the complete opposite, of course.
