"... as... noted previously, #Volvo says this car will have the lowest carbon footprint of any car it has sold, at below 30 metric tons after 124,274 miles (200,000 km)."

Because of leasing and dealer promotions — and lots of advertising — many people don't realize that cars ARE MEANT TO LAST for > 200k miles — and they do! https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=36914
