I see a lot of SAAB owners boast about 30+ MPG, but I was often in the low 20's on my 2000 9-3 base model. Perhaps I like to shift at high revs, or see the turbo needle in the red, but I never really got the numbers some of you guys get. Maybe downhill for a minute or so, but averaged out over a tank of gas, I got 20's. Yes, I drive fast. I see posts about 35MPG on 85MPH trips. How do you guys do it? My C900's seem to get even less mileage.
Am I alone in this? What's the real world SAAB fuel economy?
I had a Prius rental for a wedding weekend and got about 50MPG with a 50/50 city and highway mix. I had it going 70+ MPH on the highway in the hills of Pittsburgh, too.
