i cant say about what to expect from the car. but high octane is not required, regular unleaded is fine. the only advantage of using higher octane rated gas is to reduce pre-ignition combustion or(engine knock). and since the saab has high compression ratio(like 10:1) and already has 110k, it may be a good idea to keep using midgrade or premium. since older cars are more affected by engine knock. also if it has a turbo charger, it will help to have better gas.
good luck. ps. with constant attention it would not be unreasonable to get 200k.
