long trips means highway... you don't need AWD on the highway.. sounds like you are wasting energy most of the time you use your Subaru

also, a competent driver with decent tires should have no problem in the snow with a modern FWD car... they are like tanks.

Some of them do. It's usually civics and the old integras. Now that they are making the stereo's an integreal part of the dash, they aren't stolen as much any more.

I drive a big fucker. Suburban new so it gets about 16 in city and lower 20's on the highway. I also tow a boat every other day with it as I do a lot of wakeboarding during the summer. Also have kids. Our other car is a Volvo which gets pretty good mpg.

However I use E85 so minus 1 or 2 mpg on that.

i drive an '04 Civic. I get about 350 miles per tank and a fill-up is no more than 10-11 gallons.

When we drove to New Orleans (560 miles each way, 1120 round trip) I was averaging about 500 miles per tank.

I can't boast 500 miles per tank, but your other numbers are similar to mine.

apparently you don't drive in the winter in the NE. there's a reason why subarus are the most popular car in the mountains.

I sometimes support direct action of this type but not in this case. The stuff has already been produced. So even though its production can be seen as an inefficient use of the worlds resources now that its been made destroying the tyres in no way helps & is a waste in itself.

The bloke does seem a bit of a divvy but to sneer at him achieves what exactly?

that's the only time Ive ever gotten close to that, when I drove to Boston back in 2005 I averaged around 410-420 per tank. I was amazed when we were only an hour or so from New Orleans and hadn't had to fill the tank.
