..."Why did you pick the 92C T-stat?"

1) That's the Volvo spec for the cars it's in;
2) In general, the engine is more efficient at higher coolant temps;
3) A hotter stat helps the engine "burn off" crankcase condensation and keep the engine's insides sludge free - esp. important if shorter trips are common.
