Hello! I am considering moving to the new Saab 9-3 from my current car (Lexus IS200). The only negative thing I've heard about the 9-3 is that fuel economy is supposed to be very poor - quoted in a recent magazine review as 23-25mpg on a good day. Has anyone had experience first hand, either of the 1.8 or 2.0, preferably with auto box attached. I currently get 28-34 combined with the Lex and don't want to see my fuel bill increase too much if it can be helped. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks
