Subject: Re: Saab 9-3 2.2 Tid Fuel Consumption.


I have a 9-3 Turbo, automatic, 2001, with about 55000 km on it , and I do lots of long distance driving. I get in my opinion great gas consumption . I do about 70 to 75 mph(110 to 120 kph) in average and my gas consumption is between 6.3 to 7.2 L/100 km or 38.9 mpg. For the comfort and security the car provides , I think it is great . In good days I can do about 525 mile (840 km) with a full tank (90% cruise control usage) "Jeff Tope" <jeff.topenopsamAMnopsamenworld.com> wrote in message news:afp52r$351$1nopsame.btinternet.com... > My 93 Nov 2001 SE now with about 12000 miles averages about 45Mpg (imp), I > have found that there seems to be "funny" with the fuel consumption at 70 - > it seems to be worse than at 68 or 72 - probably a duff node in the emu data > or ERG etc; my '99 93 was the same! > Using cruise control at 68 I can get 49mpg - better or worse depending on > the head wind (-7mpg for driving into a gale). > Hard acceleration and breaking drink the fuel - but you need to know the > limits of your car so its allowed sometimes ;-) > Oil consumption - minimal - but as with yours my engine was really tight > from new so you may be lucky if you treat it right, (don't ask what right is > as everyone will have their own ideas) > One day I may get around to putting the stats for the mpg on the web. > > Jeff > > "JNevilleA" <jnevilleanopsamcom> wrote in message > news:20020630182012.17686.00001719nopsams.aol.com... > > Yes your consumption will gradually decrease as the mileage creeps up.
