Hello All. I live in Nagano, Japan. Here we get icy weather during winter and local police uses LEGACY GT!!

Hi. I drive 09 Outback 2.5i Automatic. It has 4000 miles on it. I notice that (specially when A/C is on) the motor knocks on 87Gas when driving less than 20mph, specially from 0mph to 10mph. The similar phenomenon occurred on my 08 Outbacksport 5spd. This doesn't happen when I use 89. Does anyone have similar issues?

I have been trying to find a place to put the scangauge display somwhere on my dashboard. I need to avoid air bag areas and I don't want disturb my meter panels either, and I hate to stick a tape on dashboard....... Any Ideas? I know on ebay they sell stuff to set it on rearview mirrors, but I think the cable gonna disturb the view....

http://www.subaru.jp/exiga/exiga/index.html you might already know this, but Subaru released new mini-van over there.

Under $8,000 including all the costs to the port of discharge.

Here is another interesting listing from Japan. 1978 JDM Leone 26,000 miles. approx. US$5000 including shipping, customs clearance from Japan.

I have been working for a customs broker, KWE http://www.kweusa.com/default.asp KWE is the 2nd largest customs broker in Japan. I guess some of you heard the names Schenker, DHL etc. I just thought it might be some interest to you to import this vehicle from Japan. What do you guys think??

I just found that Scangauge needs setting up Engine size, Tank Size and one full fill up to show more accurate mpg.

I've recently bought Scangauge II to find out if it helps to determine fuel saver really works as it claimed or not. There is an X-gauge feature to read horsepower. Does anyone have been trying this? I think it showing accurate readings. MPG readings, I think it needs a few fill-ups to get the right readings. When I cruise on highway, it sometimes show 78mpg. My car is 08 Impreza Outback

I think Subarus shows difference depends on the brand or octane ratings, compare to other brands such as Toyota Corolla, etc. My 08 Outback Impreza is okay with 87, but I definately feel the difference when i put 89. And more, Chevron or Texaco seems to have better gas mileage than other brands as well.

Toyota was selling a minivan called "ESTIMA" in Japan. It was orginally a MR layout van and they were promoting as well balanced minivan. Now, when they changed the model to the type they call MCR30 and ACR30, they quit doing that and they put the motor on the front. I was so disappointed with Toyota that they even deny their own invention. So, I agree with nipper, if Subaru get rid of boxer.... I myself feel a shame as Japanese. I live in Dallas, TX and when it rains or get storm, I love the Boxer+AWD. There's a quite difference from other cars.

Have you ever seen ur MPG higher than 31.2?

I have one updated picture showing my MPG. Driving condition : about 60 milies / Highway daily, 60-65mph, plus 20 miles city/daily. A/C on sometimes. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/photos/showgallery.php?cat=1121
