Every other Saab does. Every other Saab is 87 Octane Minimum and 93 Recommended. The owners manual for a 9-5 Linear does say 90 octane for optimum performance, whereas the rest of the 9-5's, Arc and Aero, say 93.
You can run the all on 87 if you want to as APC will reduce boost and other engine parameters to compensate.
In my experience you get better mileage on higher octane and I can feel the performance increase too, but that's in my 96 900SE.
I tell my 9-5 Linear customers regular is fine. Try it yourself. Now that the differential is only about 10% in price I bet the premium MIGHT pay for itself.
