The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs roughly the same to get the Saab to the dealership as the Audi A6. The Saab doesn't pale in comparison to the Audi A6 with respect to gas mileage. There really isn't much of a difference in gas mileage here, but if you must know, the Saab is a little more economical than the Audi A6.

Convenience
You will definitely have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Saab than with the Audi A6.

Dimensions
The Audi A6 is considerably more bulky than the Saab 9-5. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Audi A6 than the Saab 9-5 because of its larger tank. The 9-5 and the Audi compete for the same parking spaces.
