I have a 88 900s auto that has been getting pretty good gas mileage. In the city I can average about 20-23 but on the highway I can get around 27-28. I think the only reason that it is not better is because of the tranny. Being a three speed auto the tach at about 65-70 mph doesn't go below 3200-3500 rpms. If it had at least one more gear mileage would be awesome for a car woth so much kick. They are truly fun cars to drive and toss around. I will definetly buy another one. This car is 11 years old with 177k on the speedo, in Saab years this is still young. If they are properly maintained they will last forever. Happy Saabing. dp
