My 9K uses less fuel, but the V70R is a 300hp AWD wagon that weighs something like 3800 lbs. With both of those vehicles, mpg is strongly related to how vigorously I flex my right ankle!
Your 850's fuel consumption sounds relatively high, but if you routinely carry heavy loads, often accelerate hard, spend a lot of time idling in traffic, or maybe even prefer relatively low tire pressure for comfort, that could have a big effect.
