I got the same advice not from my Tech, but from the service manager. Hmm. I buy an Aero specifically for the performance, and now Saab wants me to run it with 89 octane? I know the computer will compensate, but why then does the owner's manual specifically state to use the premium stuff? FWIW, I put in a tank of Sunoco 93 octane tonight - I've only used Mobil 93 octane up till now. (Bottle of Techron made no discernable difference, FWIW.)
My REAL question is why are some Saab service depts. recommending fiddling with the fuel supply to solve the starting problem, while others seem to just go ahead and pull the head to clean the valves? Is it just the enormous difference in cost? Is it regional?
