    I would like to buy a new XC90 but first would like to hear from owners
    concerning gas mileage for the 07 3.2 six and the V8. Also if there have
    been any problems with them.
    Thank you
    John

    I have an '05 XC90 V8, very pleased with it. I get highway 24MPG, city
    about 18. Took it on a 12,500 trip last summer --- no problems. Handles
    beautifully. Drove an '07 XC90 3.2 six for about a week (800 miles), and it
    got about 22 highway (dk about city). The V8 has a bit more power, and I
    guess the larger engine doesn't work as hard to move this heavy vehicle,
    which may account for the slightly better gas mileage..
