My 2000 AWD V70 wagon can *easily* get 30 mpg highway and I have gotten as high as 32.8 when I was serious about it (windows up, no A/C, inflated tires, and speed limit). So I do not think the person who said the S60 is lucky to get 25 mpg highway is correct, considering it is both smaller, lighter, and more aero than my wagon.
