That is still very good. I just checked the conversion and there are 1.2 US gallons to each Imperial gallon if I am correct. That would give you 37.5 miles per US gallon. Quite good, but then again I have never seen a diesel Saab in the US. That doesn't mean they are not available. I haven't followed Saabs for a few years now :( -- Vic Roberts http://www.RobertsResearchInc.com
