how hard on fuel would a volvo s80 2.4 automatic diesel be to run

That's like asking who long is a piece of string. There is no definitive answer to the question.

It depends on the journeys you are making with it and your driving style. Drive it like a granny and it will return favourable mpg, drive it like you stole it and it won't. It also depends what your expectation is too.

Getting it to run would be very hard indeed.
Getting it to drive on the other hand....

Mate has one and drives at thew speed limit and gets about 40 mpg (Auto) His is a 05.

Tax is the real killer!

tax is the killer? Sure at 2.4 it is less than 300 p/a more than a tdi golf. In the course of a year's motoring, 300 is a small (almost negligible) difference.

I get 40mpg from the S60 2.5D - I drive a mix of country roads and motorways and would drive it hard enough on the back roads.

What year are you talking??

According to the motor tax website the tax prior to 08 is €1034 and on the O2 scale its 570??

Unless your not living in Ireland €300 does seem to be wrong

Im guessing your talking 08+

Sorry, I'm talking Pre 2008 (cc emissions)
So the tax is 1034 and the tax on a TDI golf is 700 quid. 300 difference, hardly bank breaking, 3 fillups

I see...would you not go for the XC70?? Based on the S80, but a little better off road

Diesel is 2.4 T so it € 1034

Petrol is 2.5 T so it's € 1080

Diesel gets approx 40 mpg
Petrol gets approx 30 mpg
