The 850/S70 are not the greatest in fuel economy. Average is around 27-28 mpg highway. My brother owns a 99 S70 and I get 1.5 mpg better highway in my 960.
The fwd 3100 lb S70 has a 2.4L 160 hp I5 and is aero rated at .32 Cd. While my rwd 3550 lb 181 hp 2.9L I6 960 areo rated at .36 Cd.
Volvo is in trouble because their cars are not getting better mpg's
My 97 960 at .36 Cd gets the same mpg as a 08 S80 with a .28 Cd that replaced it.
This is the reason when I replace my 87 740 wagon DD, it will not be with a another gas hog Volvo.
