Trip to Scandinavia
Did 3000km roadtrip from Helsinki to Lofooten Islands. No technicalities, expect one time wife left light on, and when boosting battery some fuses blow. Othervise xm worked like a charm. Average consumption 8.1 Litres. V6 3.0litres. Really good for long trips.

Re: Trip to Scandinavia
Sounds good, taking advantage of those very long daylight hours...only 20 Hrs 38 minutes today... 
Did you see any Northern lights while there, or are they such a common occurrence that they are not worth mentioning?
Regarding the fuses blowing, was the jump pack connected the correct way round: positive to positive, negative to negative.
I make 8.1L/100km = 34.8 mpg (imp), which I think is very good and shows how frugal an Xm can be, even a V6, if driven sensibly.
