Balacing is usually just a few euro's per tire, if your steering wheel is shaking it is worth it.
Besides if you don't do it now, after a few days or weeks you will probably be so annoyed by the shaking you will go back for the balancing.
 
And furthermore well balanced tires should, but only very slightly, decrease fuell consumption and wear on your tires and car.

i was at tire centrum..and after re-allignment car still goes to the right..well i paid but problem is still there..i was sooo pissed couse they said it need that and that that will fix the problem..mechanic was so full of bull sh.t that after 15 minutes of arguing i just walked away couse i saw i'll get nowhere with that imbecil..
uuuffffffff money out the window..but good school, never again to mechanic..rather be patiente and do everything at the man that i complitely trust..but he's in croatia so for now im done with fixing car..
at least i did somethin myself..washed and polished from outside..i almost died how much i had to scrub but when i see it now in the sun its beautifull..and also cleaned engine bay myself and only with degreeser and it looks great..

My '95 2.3lpt 945 auto settles for some 14 litres per 100 km; at the current gas price some 10 eurocents.
Which is slightly less per kilometre then my spouses Twingo. Basic, manual, no electrickeris. Damn taxes!
So 17.7/100 is high but how about the weight of your foot? Short or long distances? (If shorter, fuel averages lower on LPG but higher on petrol. Well, my LPI does...)
Enjoy and drive ur volvo in safety!
