2011	4dr Sedan turbocharged 220hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	So far doing mixed highway and suburban driving, getting about 26-28 on the highway while around 19-22 driving around suburbs. see full Saab 9-5 review
2007	4dr Sedan turbocharged 260hp 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	It gets 29mpg highway if you keep it at 70mph.

2007	4dr Sedan turbocharged 260hp 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	I had hoped for better economy from 2.3L, but it is really really really hard not to go like a bat out of hell with all of the available power! see full Saab 9-5 review

2008	4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.2L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Even though it says it requires Premium in Summer some where in that manual it states I can use 87~89 octane gas without harming the engine. That is helpful to know. With premium fuel and my mainly highway driving with only 2 persons on board we get 25MPG see full Volvo S80 review

2001	4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.4L I5 5-speed automatic FWD	I've had this car for 13 years now and the mpg has always been very good. Being a European model (2.4 litre petrol auto - 170 bhp) it does not compare directly with any US models. I have the air con on 100% of the time. If I keep to the speed limit - 80 -85 on the speedo I get 35 mpg (English gallons!) without any problem. On a holiday trip to Portugal doing long distance driving and at slightly slower speeds - say 70 mph on the speedo - I managed 40 mpg over nearly 1,500 miles. In town stop start driving I will usually get 25 mpg. Impressive figures I think for a 13 year old vehicle weighing as much as it does. see full Volvo S80 review

2007	4dr Sedan 235-horsepower 3.2L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Very good fuel economy overall but running the AC continuously does produce a noticeable 2-3 mpg decrease in fuel economy. see full Volvo S80 review
