This months Car and Driver has an article on this, and in fact one of the
cars tested was a 9-5.

The results in truncated form... pages 133 to 135

If you have a modern engine with computers and turbo you will get more
with the premium gas.

the 9-5 was tested with the following result '... The results were more
dramatic with the SAAB... the system dialed back power 9.8 % on regular
gas(on dyno)...performance dropped 10.1% on the track'

Best I can see by the graph is that you loose about 20 horespower to the
wheels, lines are thick so it is tough to tell precisely.
