>>850s get better mileage than the 740 or 240 - I am leaning towards dumping all my older cars for FWD! Have I lost my mind?<<

Well, it's not like the RWD in Volvos allow you to enter a drifting competition or anything. You can have more fun in a snowy parking lot with one though. So I'm guessing the FWD would be okay for your purposes.

Why do the 850s get so much better mileage? Is it the weight? The gearing? The newer electronic fuel injection? Engine technology? And let's not forget aerodynamics.
