LJK Setright, Fuel consumption
Andrew, I have had SAAB's for over 30 years up until now all petrol so yes
the fuel consumption was not marvelous and the further you go back with a
SAAB the thicker the gauge of metal they used. However, the new one has a
large amount of plastic parts including an under pan to help it slide through
the air better, this the old models did not have.
The consumption figures are accurate as I have the mpg permanently
displayed on the dash, which is interesting when you go up or down a hill to see
the changes, (the diesel is twice as good as the petrol) also tends to make
you less heavy with ones right foot.
My regards,
Bellerophon
