    2017 Subaru Limited STi by Randy George, on Flickr


    So I got this 2017 Subaru STI as a replacement, however after a month of driving it I decided it wont work as a daily driver for me because it only gets 15 MPG on the highway

    Love is what defines a Subaru, not gas mileage.
    Wow only 15 MPG, that's crazy with today's technology. Is that because you kept your foot in it?

    My 1979 V8 302 Thunderbird now gets 20 mpg highway after I de-smogged it.
    My 2001 Chevrolet Blazer that is shaped like a brick got 20.6 mpg last week driving to Tennessee and back. The only mod it has is a better exhaust.

    Glad you are happy with the MS3. You should write up a brief comparison between the two.

    Hardly, the gas mileage was a LOT lower when I would flog this car.

    I was also shocked at the poor gas mileage in such a new 2017 car.

    Which one would you rather pick for track laps and the Dragon?
    Which one is more fun to drive on the highway?
