Does the 2007 Saab 9-3 SportCombi need premium gas?
It depends on the trim. Some versions take premium and some take regular — check your exact engine/transmission below.
| Trim (engine / transmission) | Fuel | MPG | Fuel/yr |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.8L 6-cyl, 6-spd manual, FWD | REGULAR | 19 | $3,300 |
| 2.8L 6-cyl, S6 automatic, FWD | REGULAR | 18 | $3,450 |
| 2.0L 4-cyl, 6-spd manual, FWD | PREMIUM | 22 | $3,500 |
| 2.0L 4-cyl, S5 automatic, FWD | PREMIUM | 21 | $3,650 |
The EPA records the fuel each version was tested on. Whether premium is strictly required or just recommended is an owner's-manual detail the EPA dataset doesn't include — so we don't guess it.
