Do any of you have current or past experience with these old Saabs, the 96s or the 95s or the Sonett? I have read that perhaps regular civilian type people could get in the mid-40s miles per gallon with these if it is the Sonett. I could imagine that one of us from the Forum could do maybe much better? I guess the system was a little bit fragile, as apparently some people had trouble with them to the extent that they literally welded them so they wouldn't have effect? Would be curious to hear some thoughts on all this . The V4 sounds like an interesting engine. I know that some engine parts must be hard to obtain at least here in the states.
