Assuming you are using the recommended octane rating, has anyone noticed if
their SAAB is particularly sensitive to certain brands of gasoline? I have a
9-5 v6, and I think it runs better on Shell....but this might be pure
fantasy on my part.

Taking a completely unscientific approach, I can say that my car prefers our
local supermarket super unleaded. Based on doing similar journeys, driving
conditions and similar styles over successive weeks on different fuels, I
find I can achieve higher and more prolonged boost and Sainsbury's super
unleaded. MPG is better, too.

A close second is Esso Supreme (again, a 97 UK RON fuel), then Total
Excellium (I think this might be a 98 UK RON fuel), Texaco SUL and lastly
Shell V-Power, with which my car misfires, gets little over base boost and
fuel mileage down to around 20 MPG. Our FIAT, on the other hand loves
V-Power
