You're gonna need to be more specific. Which S70 do you have (trim) and what kind of mileage are you getting?
99 V70R
98 V70 GLT

Sounds a little low but not by much.
Stage 0 might net you a little bit. New air filter too.
How many miles?

stage 0 would be making sure everything on the car is in perfect like new working order. Air Filters, Air Sensors, Plugs, Wires, etc. basically everything.
my 1998 s70 GLT is now at Stage 0 and with my auto i get about 24 all around. which from my understanding is perfectly normal.
these cars arent known for their mpgs. power, speed, safety yes. MPGs...... no.

I really don't have a heavy foot at all, what have you done to your car to get that kind of mileage ?
Look at the previous post from nowhereman
