Since we moved to the SE WI area, both Saab 9-5's (V6 and I4) have had the gas mileage reduced from about 26-27 to about 22-23 for no real reason that I can find. This is the number from the car's computer on the SID. I have not done a manual check yet, but will do so soon.
This is a pretty strange happenstance that both cars about the same time have had the mileage reduced.
What are some of the first things to look for. Can this be diagnosed using the Tech II easily? There are no codes / problems with the cars at present.
Anyone else have seen this type of reduction? Gas octane does not seem to make that much difference.
Also, what mileage are people getting with 1999 i4 and 2001 v6?
