Dunno I've ...Always... gotten poor(ish) fuel mileage out of my Saabs.
Recently looked up the EPA(?) rating for the 9000Tt 97MY :
5spd is 20 urban, 29 Hiway
Auto is 17 urban, 27 Hiway.
I always believed EPA mileage claims as errm..optimistic :-)
Cold weather driving seriously degrades fuel mileage.
Your numbers don't seem so far off oem claims to me.
Curiously a "smart" car (2cyl 700cc Diesel) was allegedly EPA rated at 36 mpg combined cycle. Puts extraneous mileage claims into perspective, or possibly even into question ??
