I too have been off the boards for a while. Susan and I drove the Legacy wagon to Beuna Vista Colorado on the 25th of June and just returned today. What a great touring car! I reset the B trip odometer and at the end of the vacation today I had logged 3750 miles and the average mpg was exactly 30. Not too bad with the price of gas. Actually the price of gas was not too bad. I made sure to fill the car up in Colorado Springs any day we got near there. Gas was only $2.01 there. I used the A odometer to check each tank. On fillup was in Fairplay CO at almost 10,000 ft altittude.(at $2.29 it was the most expensive tank of gas I bought) We drove Canon City which is about 6000 ft. Talk about cheating the mileage with the force of gravity. When we got there the average read nearly 40 mpg. We did a lot of rockhounding and I came back with 100+ pounds of rocks. Drove on a lot of dirt roads and had a very dirty car most of the time. The engine did well at high altitude. Yes it is not as powerful at that height and my WRX performed better last year. But if you keep the RPMs up you can do OK. That is where the sportshift came in. In over 20 years of visiting Colorado, Wyoming and Montana this is the first time I was not driving a manual shift. Sport shift does pretty well in the mountains. I wish I had the 5 speed one though. Second gear is too high to be as effective on descents as second usually is on a manual. You can downshift at 60 mph with it and I found myself doing that often (Monarch Pass. Hoosier Pass. Need I say more for anyone who has driven those passes?) We overpacked as always and then Susan bought one of those chainsaw carved bears and I had bags of rocks scattered all through the car but we got it all home. Like last year's trip out west Colorado is the land of Subarus. Talk about hitting the target audience out there. Buena Vista on the Arkansas River is a prime destination for whitewater rafters and kayakers. There are so many Outbacks there it is unreal. Many have either kayaks or bikes on top.The whole area looks like one big Subaru promo. As I noticed last year the other popular car is the Legacy in the first generation before the Outback arrived. WRX wagons (also loaded with boats and bikes are quite popular). In fact I saw as many of those as Foresters. And yes the XT for the thin mountain air is selling out there, especially the Outback XT. It's funny, few SUVs I saw out there were carrying bikes or boats but the majority of the OB's were. Anyway we did not go rafting but we did: 1.Get to about a half dozen abandonded mine sites and collect granite, pyrite, rose quartz and other nice rocks. 2. Ride the Royal Gorge dinner train. Expensive but the most incredible view of the 1000 ft deep gorge. 3. Try to get to the top of Mt. Antero. The jeep tour we took could not get to the top of the 14,000 ft tall mountain because of snow. Susan and I were planning on prospecting for Aquamarine. Antero is known for its gem quality Aquamarine and other Beryl gemstones. But it was a nice trip to the 12,000 ft. level of the mountain. 4. Get to meet wolves up close at the Colorado Wolf and Wildlife Center. 5. Cross every high mountain pass we could: Poncha, Hoosier, Monarch, Wilkerson, Cottonwood, and Marshall. All in all a great time. TWRX
