Well, after horsing around with the car for awhile and discovering nothing, I took it to an independent Volvo shop. On a lift they discovered that the left motor mount isn't tight and when the engine is started, it rocks more than it should. The other thing they noticed is that the left bushing for the front sway bar is worn and the hole is ovaled. At least it's nothing serious!

They were surprised when I told them at 70mph the cars gets around 28mpg and 24mpg at 80. Maybe that it's a California car it has a different gear in the back or something?

The car also has a B230FD motor, which according to the manual and some other posts here, indicates it has a 100,000 mile timing belt. However, the shops here insist it be replaced at 50,000 miles. What's the scoop?
