Better gas mileage?

[romanb111]

I'm ready to buy a 2005 Legacy GT MT5 but I've read that they improved mileage on the 2006. Is it worth it to wait?:cool:

[mkalbarc]

sure

It depends. If you can save a few thousand bucks by buying an '05 model that uses a tiny amount more gas. Calculate how many miles you expect to do, then see if you would get a return on the extra cost. Also there's the resale value to take into consideration, if you plan to do mods etc etc.

But if its just for the gas savings, I would say no, it's not worth it.

How does it save more gas? Is it because they deleted a cat for an air pump?

[Mblock66]

There is no way the 06 saves that much more gas. Just get the 05 and put in a catless Uppie for $200.

I doubt the ECU got a better retune and got water-downed in the process. EPA on the stickers still show the same numbers.
