I believe the minor horsepower discrepancies are ECU related, but at least in some cases the 236HP is ever so slightly faster 0-60 than the 247 (as in S70T5 vs S60T5). Torque, weight, and other characteristics have an influence, to say nothing of the driver.

>By the way, ABS/TRACS lights on a daily basis
Uh oh.

> check engine light about once a week(MAP/Barometric Pressure Sensor - P0108 I think)
Did you get codes? You're barking up the right tree - the CE light comes on whenever any kind of fault is detected in the emissions control system, which would include intake and fuel charging components. We should have 10 kinds of CE light to really be useful. Or the OBD readout should be right on our dash, telling us the problem in plain Swedish. Ja?

>and my low fuel light comes on far too often - Not problematic, just driving too much.
In a good car, how is it possible to drive too much?
