Re: Why?
Gained 0.8 mpg running premium over the last 6000 miles. Not a lot, but since it now has lift and bigger tires, that is not a bad thing. Might keep with it.

Re: Why?
Question - does it require premium? Because cost wise you are probably losing money with a 0.8 mpg gain vs the extra cost of the gas. Tuned for the premium?

Re: Why?
Premium when towing or high mountain driving is recommended by subaru. Not required. This is a 0.8 improvement over stock average mpg, not lifted/tire mpg as well. Closer to 2 mpg if you figure it all in.

Re: Why?
The premium is recommended under load because knocking. With the off roading I do and the heavier tires I figure I'm in an average of higher rpms so more turbo load than average. Therefore although I'm probably losing $ it probably helps in long term reliability.

Re: Why?
We noticed an improvement in mpg and engine smoothness in our NA outback when running at least 89 compared to 87.
Re: Why?
Dude. I saw a ram 2500 towing a crosstek looked little lifted sams color. I had to do a huge double take to see if it was an f250 or Ram because it was white and I was just looking for a huge dude driving. Lol

Re: Why?
Sounds like this is the standard vehicle choice for huge dudes apparently.

Re: Why?
Got some good deals on "new" rock sliders for both. Know someone who had ordered some for theirs then they traded theirs in on a new Bronco purchase before installation. Crawford sliders for the forester and rallitek for mine.

Re: Why?
Still haven't installed the sliders. Been sitting in the garage waiting to install them. Arms are feeling good enough to probably attempt them, but until I roll the vette out I don't really have enough room.

Re: Why?
Finally got the car into the garage. Letting it dry for a couple of days then plan on finally installing the rock rails/sliders this week/weekend. Forgot how much longer it is than the forester. Especially with the rear tire carrier it takes up a LOT of room in the garage. Would have more if I could get rid of my rack/platform (gym stuff).

Re: Why?
So the sliders won't work. I have to decide between them and sacrificing the integrity of my gas tank skit plates. With what I do with the car, I would rather have the gas tank skids. So they are going up on Facebook.
That said, I kind of like these, and they would work with my skids, but $1100 is kind of steep. https://catunedoffroad.com/products/cat ... ck-sliders

Re: Why?
I agree with both. Expensive and nice.

Re: Why?
Problem with subaru. Pay a premium for parts. That's actually one of the cheaper options

Re: Why?
Did this to the forester today. First time ever attempting it. Did not do a very good job and it bothers me but Danielle is OK with it.

It looks good from far away but not up close.
