I recently bought a 50k mi. '06 V70R, which is AWD and have put about 3k mi. on it since posting the below thread - I really love it. But unlike Tom's, my R makes 300 hp and I'm averaging a dismal 15.5 mpg for the last 3 tanks (all around town...damned right foot
). I get about 24 mpg freeway @ 75/85 mph.
