Saab 9-3 Aero:
2008 MPG: 16/26
2009 MPG: 19/29
How it was done:
Aero-type appearance and performance package is now an available option on 2.0T 4 cylinder “Sport” FWD models.

Awesome product improvement ... Why not actually improve the 2.8L with direct injection or a few of the other engine tech goodies that are rolling around?
