Got me, how so?
The plugs are indeed the knock sensors in Trionic, The point was and is that the engine management system detects knock. And SAABs with Motronic also have a knock sensor bolted onto the block---16v non turbos-- going back to c900 days of 1986 when the first non turbo 16v was introduced.
I just find it interesting that opinion polls over fact are now the way we live. Maybe in the sales world.
Analysis:
People hate switching from 93 to 87 because of the power/performance loss in their SAAB turbos, and they therefore press harder on the gas pedal to get the performance back, causing more fuel consumption, and therefore lower mileage when compared the their previous Premium fuel experiences.
If you put 2 identical 9-5's in the lab (one with 87 one with 93) you'd see the difference immediately instead of a popularity poll.
