somewhat to what my saab mech warned me about running low octane fuel in the newer saab aeros that ask for premium only fuel...
"After moving to Colorado from the east coast with my 2002 9-3 at about 20K miles. I stubbled on a very important piece of information...I saw two similar cars in the dealer with the cylinder heads off. The pistons were badly damaged from detonation. To make this short, there was a Saab
bulletin that owners above 5000 feet elevation should use gas with an octane rating that is higher than the baseline 87 to prevent this type of engine damage in turbocharged engines. I never got this bulletin, but read the shops copy and now use 91 at every fill up as we live at 7000 feet and
drive up to 9000 feet very often. I hope this may help someone prevent an engine failure if you also live at high altitude."
