The V50/S60/V70 have the same block with different routing of some wiring and plumbing. Yes, it has a flame trap. BUT, if you always use synthetic oils, you will probably not get things clogged up.

A well tuned V70 NA should get 28-30+mpg at 80mph with out trying hard. My awd 1998 V70R got 27-28mpg with the cruise set at 78mph.
