I picked one of these cars up. Just got 32.6 mpg in hilly terrain by staying out of the boost averaging about 65mph. Not bad for a $400 car with 178k miles and a bad o2 sensor. They published a max economy rating around 45 mpg @ 45 mph back when they first came out. Since then Saab made some minor mods for the Talladega record to reduce drag (ie. dish like wheels and ride height) . These cars will do 150mph+. I will post more results as I get this thing tuned up.
