Last weekend I took my Outback Sport (1997) from Green Bay, WI to Minneapolis MN. I got no better than 20 mpg. Anyone else getting this kind of mileage?...
Mine has been really crappy lately as well. When I had the car in to replace a bum thermostat, I mentioned it, and the mechanic said it was the blend of gas...

Quick question... When I open my rear hatch on my 97 OBS, the interior lights come on briefly but then turn back off. It appears to be related to the position...

I'm not home to check the manual and haven't looked at my '97 OBS yet but I do no a Ford Escort uses a mercury switch inside the liftgate and would expect the...
Easy. I've fixed my '97 and a friend's OBS for the same reason. There is no adjustment, there is no mercury switch - the interior lamps is triggered by a...
I drove mine (2005) down to Florida from North Alabama last week, I got 29 mpg on the way down and 30 on the way back. These were all Interstate miles running...
Is it really that simple of a fix?! Hers is a '97. Is the switch in the older ones like that or new only? I'm dying to drive over and see if it's there! ...
That was it! She can't believe she's been pulling out that little fuse and putting it back in for a week! The last time this was happening, it wasn't the...

Hi, The check engine light is on, and I had it checked at Auto Zone because it didn’t go off on its own. (The gas cap seems to set off the check engine light...

The rear wiper kinda "locked up" on our '00 Legacy wagon. Wife went to wash the rear window, wiper started up from park, went to 3/4 across the window and...
The wire is probably broken internally. Seems to be a common problem w/ the bundle of wires that run to the hatch from all the opening/closing. --JOsh...
