European option - switchable between liquified petroleum gas (LPG) or compressed natural gas (CNG) and gasoline. It's fairly common, but I think most European buyers are going to diesels now. The Volvo D5 turbodiesel seems to be a pretty impressive engine with 163hp and about 230 lbs.ft. of torque.
This is all about saving money on fuel. Too bad we don't have the diesel available here. The excuse I hear is too much sulfur in our fuel, although that's supposed to change in Canada in 2007.

The Volvo Club UK site is worth checking out. They actually have the Brickboard's 700/900 FAQ posted!
