I see votes for 95+ ... are any of you voting for non-US 95+? Because that's a different system, with higher numerical values than ours. '97 octane “super unleaded” in Britain is roughly equivalent to 91 octane premium in the United States' Matt it's worth noting when my S80 was in it's first few y...

The pump says 260GT 100 octane fuel. Sunoco brand at 8210 Beach boulevard location. One pump of course! The price is quite high. June

Stopped by on my way home. Here is a picture of the pump 100 octane street legal fuel. Like just shy of $9 a gallon! June

BTW I have custody of the C70 for the next year as she cannot have a car on campus for her first year at her new university. Stupid rule if you ask me. Keep your S80, the 2000 S70 is fine but the P80 is clunky compared to a P2 car and the 3.2 is underpowered in the XC90. June The 03 S80 for my fres...

Do you mean the temperature gauge is going beyond half way? Coolant disappearing is not normal. If no external leak visible, a combustion gas test needs to be performed to rule out a bad head gasket. Catalytic converter will not cause the coolant level to lower or engine to overheat. June

From a Volvo enthusiast who has had two P80s and two P2 cars, this is my opinion. The P2 has a more robust door open guide, a bit better handling, and my current 2004 P2 still has NO squeaks or rattles even after 186K of driving. My 98 V70 Cross Country was the worst with interior squeaks. I traded ...

Check the fuel pump relay first. Those cars were famous for the relay to heat up and fail. That car does not have OBDII I had a 89 740 which had a simple computer system. A repair manual likely will tell you how to read codes. Or check YouTube. From there check for spark and fuel pressure it is like...

I can't remember if the radio had to come out. Mine had a double radio Premium sound option. So likely the lower equalizer unit was removed. I traded it back in 1995 for a 850. Being a relay, put your hand on it and turn the key on and it should click when the power hits it. I do recall the tabs tha...

I think it looks great! Can you show the S80? June What color is yours and do you have any pics? Mine is Ice White with the Oak/Arena two toned interior. I hate the woodgrain accents. On earlier models aluminum accents were available and look so much better. Especially with the dark interior. Prett...

No you should not have trouble. June
