I can appreciate your quandary. I commute between Reno and Carson and have been up and over the Mt. Rose highway several times since I purchased my first ever Subaru, a 03 Forester X AT. Yes I know it ain’t no XT but hear me out. In city traffic situations I find the torquey 2.5 has no problem getting off the line quickly. My own self imposed preference is not to exceed 80 MPH in the Washoe Valley flats. The X gets there and beyond smoothly and quietly if I don’t pay attention with just moderate pedal. For an AT it just shifts quietly and effectively. With 80% highway and 20% city I’m getting right at 28 mpg on 87 Octane. The XT AT should comparably get mpg in the low 20’s with the 10%-15% more expensive premium. And getting to 80 MPH flat out in the XT would be much too brief, :>) On the Mt. Rose highway I drop the gated shifter from D to 3 for the entire middle part of that steep twisty trip. I don’t perceive much in gear hunting at all. So even the lowly X, thanks to the Subarus wonderful AWD, has me sometimes chickening out on a few steep curves. I’d suggest test driving the AT version of the of the X/XS versus the XT at the Carson City dealer. Turn left out of the dealership and go north on 395 up the nearby and fairly steep Lakeview hill stretch. When I take that hill up, I drop the shifter from D to 3 for better pedal response and eliminate any gear hunt. At 65 MPH the X is pulling 4K rpm in 3; then at the top shift back up to D and rpm drops to ~ 2.5K. Try it a couple of times once with the shifter in D the whole time then again just using 3. At the same time continue a bit into Washoe Valley to get a sense for highway cruising. Yep in that Tahoe basin environment sometimes you can make better time on roller blades versus any car. So mpg and performance at Tahoe will suffer no matter what you drive. Wish I had your quandary, decisions decisions. Have fun.
