At that mileage, I'd think it unlikely you'd have any major buildup of carbon on the backs of the intake valves. Try the stuff recommended by the others (though I'd use AMSOIL PI or BG 44K rather than Techron) because it won't hurt anything. The difference in initial drag on startup between the Saab semi-synthetic and Mobil 1 (or AMSOIL) would be barely noticeable at your current outdoor temperatures.
Most likely, in my opinion, is that one of the sensors isn't working properly. I assume the car is still in warranty, and would probably take it in to have it checked.
