worth the powder to blow it away (in my not-so-humble-if-I-do-say-so opinion as a Saab owner since early '73). If you really want to know what the gas mileage of your Saab (or any other car) really is, DO THE MATH! Use the same pump regularly, reset the trip odometer each time, and do the math. Over a sequence of a few tanks, you will have a well-based idea of what kind of mileage your car is actually delivering (within reasonable parameters).
If your poor vehicle is only delivering in the range you mention, yeah, something is WRONG. But until you have clarity...why chase expensive fixes for what may not need fixing? (That's the voice of experience, by the way...)
Good luck, and keep a cheap solar-powered calculator in the sidepocket!
