The 9-5's on a flat highway in a temperate climate tend to settle into a state of excellent litres/100 km but mileage deteriorates rapidly in any city conditions. I have optimized fuel efficiency by feed our Saabs over the years with a steady diet of premium fuel spiked with Lucas UCL. To the engine, it's like getting a massage with hot oil. The Lucas improves fuel lubricity and helps ensure that the fuel droplet maintain a relatively even size. When bought by the 4 litre jug, it pays for itself in modest fuel savings. Never had a fuel pump or injector failure on Saabs in over twenty years and the engines purr like a well fed cat. More Lucas is not better so I don't overtreat.
