Good Dean, leave it to me to forget the engine basics.
Loren, pay lots of attention to the tire pressure as Dean recommends, if you want good mileage, and safety if you are taking a road trip with a full load in hot weather, take the tire pressure up to the max. There is only one reason to keep your tire pressure even as low as recommended by Saab for two passengers and that is to improve the ride. If you want better gas mileage, better handling and steering response along with longer tire life and greater safety, you take the tire pressure up just as high as you can stand. I run mine at 40 psi for everyday driving and up to 43 psi for road trips. So far the only problem I have had doing this is getting the OEM Michlins to die, I'll have them for another year or two.
