You can tell how much you got in one tank, and also how much you're getting for an entire, long road trip. Another minor nit pick - it doesn't give you any average at all until you've driven 1 mile. So it's not really "instant on". My minivan is instant, and does 0.1mpg increments, but it cannot track 2 seperate trip averages.

Replying to: rsholland (Dec 11, 2008 7:05 pm) I'm sure "S#" would not do nearly as well.  Bob, what tires do you have on your rex? Do you still have the summers on? I'm looking at some all seasons myself for a winter tire since it only snows here about 3 days a year in Seattle. tom |

Replying to: tsy (Dec 11, 2008 3:33 pm) I completely agree with you, Tom. Actually, I also share Loosh's sentiments regarding being jealous! Although I have never driven a modern one, I half think that his company Camry is likely more fun to drive than the Escort I have. The only things my car has going for it are: 1. It was dirt cheap - I mean dirt ($800), 2) It gets excellent fuel economy (~35 summer, about 27 so far winter), 3) it has a manual transmission. But, back to the STi, I had never considered an Impreza or its variations before due to the smaller size than Legacy. Always being a a one-vehicle family, we needed the best all-around fit for every purpose. I mean, I used my old Outback for hauling, pulling, pushing, and yanking all sorts of things. But, when it comes to passengers, the Legacy has no real advantage over Impreza. I realized this when I first acquired the Escort, which seems like a miniature vehicle compared to most everything I have ever driven. But, I can fit my whole family in that car just as easily, if not as comfortably, as I could in any of my Outbacks. Every since I purchased it, I have eyed the Impreza line more so than the Legacy as my next Subaru. So, sure, the STi is a serious performance machine, but it does not sacrifice the ability to be a family hauler in the process. That combination is appealing to me. Being away from Subaru vehicles, the longer I am away, the more I want the driving experience of Subaru....

Replying to: rsholland (Dec 12, 2008 6:55 am) I think I've seen as low as 22 and as high as 36. 24 to 27 is more typical, though. |

Well, it's not the greatest picture, and the car is already filthy from driving in the snow, but here it is! I've had quite some fun already driving in the snow- just changed out the summer tires for all season tires this week- just in time I guess.

Replying to: rsholland (Dec 19, 2008 4:57 am) Driving up and down these steep hills in Seattle in the snow and ice has not been fun- I'm much more afraid of other drivers! The good news is the STi actually has been pretty good going up and down these hills when driven carefully. Have a safe weekend everyone! tom
