My dad just reported last night that he just got a new Legacy and that he and Mom took a trip from DC to NY, he got about 38 mpg (according to the HUD) over that distance. That's not too bad, certainly a big step up from sub-25. If you want to stay in the Subaru stable that's a large improvement and the fuel savings, if you drive a lot, will reduce some of the new car payment burden.

He has the newest Subaru FB engine, which is itself not without a list of problems. I wonder how other countries are doing with Subaru's flat diesel?
