I was wondering why the saturn wasn't running well, it just didn't have any power. I thought of checking the air filter and it was really dirty, black with pieces of fabric on it. Then I looked in the air box and it was full of stuff, a mouse nest! Still managed 40 MPG. Seems to be running better now. I should drive it more often, or a screen over the inlet.
