You may not even notice a difference then. I do know that the Volvo engines with their higher compression ratios are designed for premium 91+ octane gas, but you may only notice a huge difference with a turbo model. The knock sensors will retard timing slightly to stop any pinging, so you won't necessarily do any damage with regular.

I ran a tank of 93 in our 2007 4-cyl Accord, and I couldn't tell a difference at all in the way it ran compared to regular, which that one is designed to run on. The best way to know for sure is to try it out yourself on your own car =).
