I got this e-mail from my dealer:
Fuel related performance problems? Have you been experiencing "hard starts", extended cranking time, or a rough running engine after a cold morning during recent weeks? If so, you are not alone! Due to seasonal fuel blend changes and the recent introduction of higher ethanol levels into gasoline sold in New England, your Saab engine's computer needs a little time to adapt to the new fuel ingredients, then this problem will likely correct itself.
Tips to improve engine performance (in the interim)...
1. Try purchasing a different brand of fuel at a different gasoline station.
2. Use only high octane fuel (on a temporary basis) to enable your engine to adapt more quickly to the fuel blend change.
Over the long term, ethanol is a cleaner and more efficient gasoline additive than the MTBE that it has replaced, not to mention a necessity in today's economy!
It also had a 10% service discount coupon...
