dude. i just bought my 2002 9-3. it's an automatic. over the first 1000 miles, i used the highest octane--91 in cali. i couldn't get more than 20.0 mpg. i was getting bummed because i thought the car would get better mileage, and i'm spending more on gas than i expected.
for my last tank of gas, i used 87. not much diff so far. maybe it's because i'm still being "gentle" with the car during the break-in period. i have noticed that while getting on the 110 freeway using the sport mode, it doesn't have quite the same oomph, but not that big of a diff.
i say switch to 87. save gas and lives.
