just driving habits and psi change.
1997 Saab 900 s 2.3 litre 4 cylinder automatic: Per the EPA 17 city 25 highway 20 combined. 3,000 lbs flying brick.
My combined driving is 28.6mpg.
No modding, engine always on, never shifting into neutral. Just putting psi to max sidewall. Driving with load, accelerating down hills and bleeding speed going up. I live in Berkshire county in Massachusetts. Probably one of the hilliest places with a 20 mile one way commute.
Well thats how far changing the nut behind the wheel gets you. I use to get a 23.8mpg low during the winter, but haven't gotten below 28mpg all this year.
I think Saabs are terrible! Who in their right minds would design something so heavy with bad handling and mediocre acceleration, for architects? No wonder they went bankrupt! Just my 2 cents, hate the car and getting rid of it this year.
