gas mileage 850 1995

I am curious about the gas mileage others are getting out of their 850 non turbo cars. I put about 35,000 miles on a year and would like to get better gas mileage than my current 28 miles per cdn gallon. (a cdn gallon is 4.5 litres and the US gallon is about 4 litres as well) Now my driving habits are consistent I always drive between 70 and 80 miles per hour and 90% of my driving is on secondary highways with low traffic. In fact I don’t notice much difference in gas mileage at either speed.

Is this consistent with other owners?

What’s the chance of Volve bringing a diesel back to the north American market?
