For the HOT engine as used in the Aero and all 2006 9-5s Saab has always recommended 93 octane fuel however their ECU is mapped such that it will adjust the timing and other parameters as required to allow fuel down to 87 octane to be used without any concerns with engine health. This however will cut your fuel mileage and power. Change in fuel mileage may well negate any savings on the cheaper fuel.
