....both in SAABs. The first was in 1989 in my 1972 99e which I rebuilt from one end to the other. The second was in 1991 with a friend and his 1986 900 base. Loved the A/C in that one.
Boris: The reason you couldn't find 93 octane in the west is the altitude. Lower cylinder pressures at altitude negate the high octane requirement, at least in a naturally aspirated engine. if you go high enough, even the 91 turns into 89.
The highest point in Florida is like, what, 400 feet? Once you're out of the mountains in the west, you'll find all the 93 you want. We have it in CA.
Congrats on your trip.
