If you're actually serious and can't imagine why I'm giving you a hard time, think about your communication approach. "Hi, I've got a (year/model) Saab, my plugs wore out at x,000 miles and with the new ones my milage has gone down by an insignificant, meaningless amount. Am I doing anything wrong here"? I was actually trying to introduce my problem better. I think there were tons of posts about "bad gas milleadge". |
it that much, or tires, or an aftermarket muffler, or any of
a dozen thihgs. 4% isn't all that significant.

So, yeah I expected to find somebody that will say: o, dud, it happened the same to me last year and this is what I did, or this is what is still doing.... |
documentation provided with the car, was a good way to do that? Odd.

Generic CENTER muffler, this is sometime called SILENCER. I bought it from the internet, Starla for 87$ The normal muffler is still the original. Also the exhaust smells horibbly.. |
from the muffler and normal new-muffler stink? You _did_ peel the labels off
of it before installing it, of course?

If the exhaust smells that bad, you either have:
1. Bad fuel quality or...
2. Bad Catalytic converter or...
3. Something generally wrong with the Trionic (enginemanagement).
Cheers!

tank with the new Mobile V power fuel (93+ octane - the highest available in
US) + a can of injector cleaner. I have also reset the trip odo and the SID.
Now the SID says 15.5 MPG which it never ever in the worst nightamers would
show, however when I got home (after 10 miles) showed 20.1 mpg, also never
seen before that low...But I will post the final average after this tank (15
galons) and we will see if the SID lies or I am realy screwed....
