I would be surprised if Google would ever give anyone a discount based on volume. Since the placement in the results are based on an auction, a discount to one bidder is in effect a penalty to every other bidder for that keyword. I think they might also be obligated to inform other bidders that volume is part of the placement formula. But as they say it never hurts to ask.

For the most part, if you're not a fortune 500 company and you are not able to spend >$100MM/year and your brand does not drive millions of click in it's own right then I think you're only going to get market prices.
