The beauty in upgrading the horsepower of the Saab engine is that fuel economy is unaffected, because you are not increasing the mass of the car like you do with a bigger engine. Look at 97 9000 fuel economy rating: 170hp CS: 20/29mpg and 225hp Aero: 20/29mpg. They are exactly the same! The reason SUVs guzzle so much gas is because of their sheer mass. Some of the larger SUVs reach 5000-6000lbs. It takes much more fuel to accelerate a 6000lb giant SUV then to accelerate the 3000lb Saab 9000. Minivans are a little better compared to SUVs because they usually have smaller engines designed for family image, not for macho image.
