Re: 9-5 Gas & Phone

There is an article in the November Car & Driver, where they test the 
benefits of regular vs. premium fuel in a number of different cars, 
including a 9-5 Aero (there is also a separate article on the upcoming 
changes to the 9-5, making this a worthwhile purchase).  The conclusion of 
the article for the SAAB was the power drop was 9.8 % on regular gas, which 
is approximately the difference in price between regular and premium in the 
U.S.  I would imagine that you would see similar differences in the other 
SAAB engines, as they have the same ability to adjust engine timing based 
on the fuel used.  So, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for....
