Re: Volvo .. mpg?
Teamster on here drives one, he might be able to advise. I would say you'd get 25mpg door to door?
I know they were mostly made in conjunction with Mitsubeshit and the engine is direct-injection (can be troublesome with injector/valve coking etc).

Re: Volvo .. mpg?
LPG on a direct injection petrol is a bit of a dark art. The injectors must have petrol running through them to keep them cool
Two ways to go about it is to run the car on 5% petrol 95% LPG or Prinis do a system that means the LPG can be injected as a liquid using the standard injectors.

No patch on a 406 in terms of dynamics.
If you want a Volvo - do it properly and get a S60/V70.
