[Question #158693]: Finite Volume in FEniCS

Hello every one,
I'm fan of Finite Volume Method (FVM) because its conservative properties, and its easiness.
However I'm very impressed with FEniCS, it provides a very powerful set of tools , so I'm starting
to solve very complicated fluid dynamics problems.

Now I wonder if it is possible to do something like "conservative" version of Finite Element Method (FEM)
with the tools of FEniCS?. In fact, many people says that FVM is a particular version of FEM, you just have 
to use test functions equal to one. What do you think?.

Best regards,
