Saab 9-5 biopower gets better fuel economy on E85

Saab Global - Pressreleases:

"On the road, the 180 bhp/ 280 Nm Saab 9-5 BioPower running on E85 delivers sportier performance due to a significant 30 bhp lift in maximum power and 40 Nm more torque, compared to its gasoline-powered equivalent. Whilst fuel economy in SEK/km in city and mixed driving conditions is unlikely to show an improvement, testing indicates that a useful 15 per cent gain in fuel cost in SEK/km can be expected at cruising speeds because of a better combustion with higher efficiency."
