I am new to the board, and i see that the, sadly, forester forum isn't the most popular, but my girlfriend is going to be getting a new F-xt hopefully within the next 2 months, and i wanted to see what everyone's impressions were. I know, my girlfriend is going to be getting the car, but before she met me she didn't know what a Subaru was, and I've lead her in what i think is the right direction as far as a new car, which i will be driving constantly. I love the F-xt, the sunroof, the leather, the room, oh did i forget to mention the POWER? Gotta love the low end torque. Ok, let me get to the point, does anyone know how to get better gas mileage out of an F-xt, without harming the sweet sweet power? With the way gas prices are, 23MPG on the highway is not what I want to be thinking about as we drive off the lot with a new car. I was thinking that with a computer like the Cusco one i could remap the computer and see some gains , but i don't know. Any help, advice? Thanks

I'm happy with mine :) I'm getting 21-22 MPG though. Cobb is coming out with a reflash that will be nice. I've done a few things to my XT have a look here:
