I have a 2001 LPT 9-5 wagon with less than 3K miles. During the first 1K miles, the car seemed to have much more power, particularly when accelerating from 30 to 50 or from 50 to 70 mph -- almost a "turbo kick" effect. With 3K miles now, that "turbo kick" effect is gone and acceleration is much worse -- both from a stop and during passing. I have used the same fuel since new -- 89 octane. Any thoughts? My dealer, International Saab in Northern, VA has been extremely unhelpful.
