slow saabs and octane ratings

Hi,
I have a couple of very naive ?'s. Mainly b/c I just bought this car a couple months ago, work 12 hour days, and live in Ohio so have not run into any pre-'94 saab owners as of yet...
1) SPEED: my car is a '92 "standard" (not S) 16v, 5 speed. It is fun to drive but not speedy at all. It only has 44K miles on this. Is it normal that a 4 cyl Accord or Camry of similar vintage can outaccelerate and humilate my great car or are there larger issues at hand (the car seems tp run great)?
2) OCTANE: No owner's manual. I've been using premium gas to be safe. Okay to use 89 or 87??
thanks--
Ethan
