Yeah, it is like engineers found themself with two bits extra everyone had forgotten, "hey Jack, what you want me to do with these?", then they shoveled tires and box (beer or tools is my guess) into boot with 'camouflage' material, no one will notice, hush, hush :lol:

Every car has their odd things, I think that just adds up some interesting bits to vehicles.

Sometimes I'd agree, but not all that far off either. My V40's trip computer is always within 1-2mpg accuracy when checking manually over a full tank.
