Although your data might be correct it can't be due to the K&N. It could be due to different driving habits or tendencies but an air filter on a FI car can't improve mileage. Basically the car is going to create the most efficient mix it can based on the volume of air coming into the engine. Increasing the air flow (via a K&N) isn't going to improve the mix (which is what would improve MPG).
I could see an argument for better performance at WOT but in a turbo charged Saab I doubt that the filter is the limiting factor on power.
Regards,
PLC
