Fellow Saabers,
Seems I rile someone every time I post, sorry for this is not my intent.
My dealer stated I do not need the extra Octane at point of purchase. He filled with 87 Octane. I drove about until near empty, 8 miles to empty, and filled with 89 octane. I drove till empty and bought 92 octane, I think, and drove to empty. This was in the spring of 2002 when we were having unseasonably warm weather. Before going back to refill I compared the miles per tank. I realized little variation. I then reviewed my mental notes and could not recall pinging nor discernible performance differences hence my option to drive with 87 octane.
I have tried higher octanes on occasion since and still could not feel a difference. This said I note that one of my other vehicles requires higher octane and when one of the other drivers in my house fills with 87 octane the neighbors know it: It pings!
A tenent of mine: As I do not want to work my whole life I watch how I spend so I can retire when I decide.
