Help me to decide on this?
Hi all,
here is the thing that i want all of you to help me decide. I am goin to gradaute this quarter and then afterwards I am plannin to move to california where my sister stays. I am not able to figure out what to do with my baby. So, i decided to make a poll overhere so that you can can give your wise opinions on this. Really i hate to leave it. I am still having time to decide untill the end of May. Current miles on the car - 76k+ Distance between my place and Calif - 2400 miles Gas cost - 420$ (@200 miles per tank) Please remember - I will never buy another company car other than Subaru and then Volvo Thanks, -Pavan.

at highway speeds you will get way more than 200mi per tank (between 400 and 600 by my rough estimates)
I would say definatly drive it! Its a good excuse to roadtrip and if you use the cruse control you dont have to worry too much about tickets! /has made the mistake of not using cruse control on the open highway

That is where the SVX shines! It loves those long trips and you will too after driving one that far. You will find out how wonderful this car really is. I have gone that for or more in only 48 hours or so and it was great. Of course if you had more time (I didn't) it would be better yet. I would not leave the car behind, that is for sure.

I don't think you could ever get a good 96 or 97 for the same price as your 92. I could be wrong, but I don't think that is possible. The other thing to consider is that you know your car and if it is a good one, you could get a lemon if you change to another - especially if you don't pay more for a newer one.

Pavan,
As stated by others, the SVX gets great highway gas mileage. I bet you'll get about 400 miles to the tank. When you leave, make sure your tires are properly inflated, and when possible, try not to use the air conditioning or heat as those consume fuel as well. When the temperatures are nice, I like to run with the vent on low or medium as to get the fresh air yet not waste energy heating or cooling it. Anyway, best of luck. Keep the SVX!

The SVX gets awesome mileage on the highway. I drove 200 miles round trip on the highway and the needle barley moved.

i get around 16 mpg under normal cityish driving, but if i go on the highway i've gotten 24 mpg mixed highway and city. so if you are all highway i would think you could get high 20s and maybe low 30s
