I have a 2005 9-3 arc, auto trans . I noticed early on that the gas mileage was not great but was told by service dep't that it gets better after the break in. Well it never got better; in fact it has gotten worse. Very easy-on-the-pedal city driving I am getting 14.5 mpg (us gallon) which is around 17.2 mpg (imperial gallon in canada) and 16.6 Litres per 100 km (Canada's metric system)
I have complained to Saab service every time I'm in the shop. They claim that all is ok , can't find any problem etc. Even given cold weather and short city trips, these mileage numbers are so far off what other 9-3s seem to be getting there must be something wrong. But where to begin if the dealer service dep't claims, Monty Python style, that all is ok?
