Hypermiling has spawned a whole range of techniques that can be applied to the SAAB - make your goal beating the stated EPA highway average for your make and year of vehicle.
See wayne gerdes and hypermiling in wikipedia etc - watching this guy drive is amazing - some are common sense- tire pressure, mass, acceleration, deceleration, coasting etc but some are not - pulse and glide, draft assisted forced stop etc.
the best mileage by about 15% I ever got in our 82 westfalia was in a long distance drive from colorado to indiana - stayed tucked in behind a trailer and drafted the whole way. If you have ever seen the movie - "Breaking Away" you will know what I mean.
