We get 38mpg out of our 9-5 aero estate at 70mph if you are careful and using 99 octane fuel. It has a stage 1 noobtune map on though.
I'd go Saab and i've had a P2 V70 T5. Problem with the volvos are if you have any issues. They aren't that reliable and getting someone to scan it (unless you are local or have the software) is an expensive option. The saab is considerably more simple, especially if you just buy a replacement ecu with a map on like we have. 3 minutes to swap out the ecu and it will live data read on the dash too so easy to find faults.
Saab needs to have the most recent PCV system (looks like thats been done) and regular oil changes. Volvo geartronic box isn't great and the esp systems are pretty intrusive for me. Unless that saab has had a 3" downpipe then it won't be 300BHp - find out who has done the mapping on it. If it has it will be 350lbft and genuinely rapid, feck all grip though.
If the volvo has 18" wheels (can't quite tell) then the tyres are a lot more money. Parts are a lot cheaper for the saab as most service items and brakes carry over to GM parts. There is a discount scheme through T5D5 for the volvo stuff from MRG chippenham though.
My only issue with the saab is the capital letters in the advert...
