If you're in a low-traction situation, the engine won't/can't make significant torque because of lack of load, so any high-torque program simply won't make a difference. Period.

Seriously. You want best mileage? Use a bunch of throttle and shift way the hell early.

Want to have fun? Use throttle AND revs!

Aside from the first tankful, my mileage hasn't materially changed - although I think it may in fact be up just a tad.

Manufacturers use a BSFC (brake specific fuel consumption) measurement...

Just one change:

Gimme a good old fashioned emergency brake pull-up handle on the console. That's all I ask.

Better late than never as they say, but Car & Driver says the Legacy 2.5 CVT will go 124 mph (drag limited), the 3.6R 145 mph (drag limited), while Motor Trend says the Legacy GT will do 150. Don't...

...and if varying speed and load is not an option for parts of your trip, just drop it down to fifth for awhile, or fourth, or third, etc.

Varying speed is best for the driveline, of course, but...

Excellent point.

My understanding (not the same as fact) is that Cobb removes some, but not all of the first and second gear restrictions.

Regardless, this will improve early acceleration, as...

I've not seen any 0-60 numbers, but agree that they ought to be somewhere down near five seconds flat.

However.

It's perfectly fine to be curious, but 0-60 times are quite close to...

It meets anybody's definition of "never changed oil", and chemically, he didn't replace all the oil by the 16k mark.

Nevertheless, I take your point. My belief is that topping off the oil every...

As far as I know, Subaru ships the Legacy GTs with regular dyno oil from the factory.

There is no point in changing the oil before Subaru's 3750 mile recommended first change, nor is there any...
