Default Fuel Octane, Turbo, cruising speed

New Volvo owner with a few questions.
2001 s60 turbo 5speed. What octance do these cars prefer, what is the maintenance on the turbo and what is the optimal cruising rpm for one of these vehicles.
Thanks for any advice!

I think all of those questions can be aswered in the owners manual. Here is the on-line copy: http://www.volvocars.com/us/top/your...s/default.aspx

I would guess 91 octane. Speed, the posted speed limit. As long as you have clean oil, you can cruise at any speed you'd like. If you are outside of the USA and do not have a speed limit, I would suggest cruising just under boost if you have a boost gauge. If you don't have a boost gauge, you may want to install one.

Default Cruse just under the boost speed?

Is boost speed just under the speed the turbo kicks in? I have a turbo 2.3l V70 and I can't tell when the turbo is on.
