Saab

We bought a used Saab 9-5 SE Turbo Wagon (37K miles) last week. We loved the car when we bought it. However, there is one aspect of our Saab we are not particularly happy about.
The car has given really low mileage over the past three days: 17.8 miles per gallon on an average (mostly freeway miles). We have two questions:
1) How has the experience of other Saab owners been with mileage?
2) Do you know / suggest / recommend any good Saab repair shops near Fremont, CA or somewhere in the South Bay.

Thanks!

OK, so I know why it came on - my gas cap wasn't tightened enough - but do I have to go to a dealer to re-set it? Or can I do it myself, and how?

Thanks,

What views do you have on Saabs? considering purchasing an M reg 900 for £700. I know they are dead reliable but what do the garage costs look like for older ones (parts are expensive) and what kinda things usually go wrong? any good or bad experiences please. DOn't have much money but live in the countryside so need a really reliable car - my job also involves driving about a lot.

I have am 88 Saab 900 with 80,000 miles on it.(I am pretty sure its the original tans) It have always been a little stiff getting into 1st gear. Then one day I tried to shift into 5th and it just wont go. I have used a lot of force and Nothing happend. The last possible bad thing that happened was I was driving to slow in 4th gear and it popped into nutreul. The next day I found that if I florred it in 4th and shifted quick it would slide into 5th and work fine. Today I have not had such luck and its back to the same problem.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Those guys haven't released a brand new car in ages, which seems odd since they're bankrolled by GM, which irks of what happened to rover before BMW offloaded them.

It's a turbo, just looking for some engine enhancements... anything, really. NOT looking for a blow-off valve or purely sound "improvements".

I heard that some people think that Saab owners are gay. Is this true?

Tell me the good, the bad, and the ugly....Maintenance costs/upkeep/reliability? I found one I really like (test driving tomorrow) and it's in my price range, but I want to know if it will go to 150K+ like a honda/toyota/nissan will? I've spoke to some independent parts/maintenance people, and they say care is not as pricey as it used to be. If anyone has any info, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks!
