I've got a 2000 9-5 Aero, Black w/ charcoal interior. Pedestal spoiler. Depending on how I drive, I average about 23-26mpg. On really long drive, I've gotten 33 mpg. Which surprises me, since it's supposed to be 18 city/26 hwy. I luv it... -ME On 10/15/03 3:45 PM, in article bmkilb$t47$1nopsamta.btinternet.com, "Pete Brown" <petes.inboxnopsamternet.com> wrote: > Hey there Marc. > > Nice choice of 9-5, my friend. > > The Viggen is something else!!!!!!! > > Currently driving a black 1996 NG900 2.0 S and I am thinking about a 1999 > 9-5 Aero auto in Cosmic Blue that I can re-chip at a later date. > > What colour is the car and trim? > > What fuel consumption are you getting? > > As far as I'm concerned (and there is no other way any self respecting Saab > owner can put this) the Jags, the Audis and the Mercs are all barges.
