hey everyone, i noticed that my car is getting about 18mpg on average, its a 97 legacy gt 2.5, i thought this car would do alot better.....and 18mpg is mostly highway doing about 65mph (110kmh) I dont get it.....the other day i filled up the tank from about an 8th left and i put just under 10 gallons. The car is supposed to have a 15 gallon tank.....where did the other third of a tank go?.....i think the guage is wrong/broken....does anyone else have these problems?

hey everyone i just got the head gaskets replaced on my car and now the check engine light is on...when i go 120km/h the car does a jerking motion forward and backward and the rpms go up and down about 200rpm......i dont know what that means.....so i was wondering how to get the beeps outof the car so i can match it up with the code to see what is wrong.....you know the diagnostic beeps? thanks

I replaced the coolant and the thermostat in my 97 legacy.....everyone told me that my head gasket was gone on my car and that was the problem but when i did the coolant change (i put the manual stated 6 litres in but only drained 3 litres) and replaced the thermostat the temp would go up and then come back down.......i would get off the highway and get stuck at a red and the temp would go up but as soon as i would start moving it would go down again....this would happen a few times but eventually the temp would stay up and the heating in the car would not work. do you still think its the head gasket? thanks

hey, dealerships are brutal i used to take my chrysler minivan (yes i know its not a subaru) to the dealership and within a week there was another problem....so i decided to take it to a private shop the next time i had a problem and told them not to fix it. I took it back to the dealership and told them what the problem was...they fixed it and i then brought it back to the private shop.....turns out they had torqued bolts to the wrong pressure and didnt even tighten other things.....so i had them write a report and i took it to the dealership....they ultimately fired the mechanic who worked on my vehicle and apparently my ole reliable and totally awesome van was finished due to his mistake.(its actually my dad's van) so my dad was offered a deal (to avoid legal action) he would get 10000 dollars off a new van of his choice. try it out you never know if they are screwing you over or not
