I avg. 30 hwy, lo-20s city; overall about 25-28 depending on pct. in my 97set. A big drop in mileage is definitely a sign of something awry. As for
In addition to what other poster mentioned, first thing I'd do is go to a knowledgable Saab mechanic (not a dealer) and have him run a diagnostic check (should be cheap).
Usual suspect is the ignition cassette, but hopefully it will be a less expensive fix. Suspect it will fix also whatever ails your turbo. There is, however, a noticeable lag common to most turbos (much better in the Saab, I assure you, than my 82 Volvo, which kicked like a bull at 3,500 rpm...)
I had a smiliar problem re stalling and it was a tiny air leak in a hose.
