I haven't tried it in my 9-5 Aero or the wife's 03 9-3 SE Convertible (well her's until last Sunday, now sadly mine I guess), but I did in her old Fiat X1/9. That baby got 33.5 MPG on 87 octane and 36.5 MPG on 92/93 octane. Premium fuel will get you better milage but in the case of the Fiat, and the prices at the time, it was slightly cheaper to run it on regular. I stuck with premium on the Fiat until she found a new job closer to home. 36.5 got her 4 round trips to work, 33.5 got only 3 and I got stuck with putting gas in it.
