I have a 2000 9-3 with the 185 hp motor and I did notice a difference. I lived in Germany at the time, and ran the less expensive 87 (by US method), and the midgrade 89 octane to compare. Anyway, the car seemed sluggish in terms of acceleration and had a lower top end speed compared to running it with 92 or 93 octane. To me it wasn't worth it. Top end speed doesn't matter in the US, but I like the responsiveness I get with the higher grade fuel. That is one reason I own a Saab.
