Ive just been wondering what kind of gas everyone uses in their cars. Volvo says that we should use the expensive stuff but do we have to? Is it worth it?

93. The highest I've found at any regular gas station around here is 101, but it costs an arm and a leg and probably isn't really worth it since the car isn't tuned for it (or at least that's what I tell myself ).
).

Is that RON, MON or PON? Which code do you guys use there?
We use RON down here. I usually fill up with 98RON (90MON, 94PON), which is 10c more expensive than the standard 91/92RON (85MON, 88PON), and the highest grade we can get in Australia. Also, I occasionally use 95RON (87MON, 91PON), which is the handbook recommendation.
