So. I think I might be hallucinating but when I first start the car up in the morning I swear I smell a faint gasoline oder. It goes away within a minute or two. Any thoughts? any way to check for leaks?

I need to bring mine in for the same issue, damn bugeyes! I've known about the recal for like 2 years but I hate dealerships LOL
Cypress coast is an O.K. Dealership just don't let them do anything but the recal work or they will charge an arm and a leg.

I bring my own oil and have them change it and the labor only cost about $15. One time I had a coupon for $10 off of the 7,500 mile maintenance (which is just an oil change and tire rotation), the damn thing came out to be like $92 after the coupon
Seriously? $15 for an oil change and like $75 to rotate the tires around? If I knew it was going to cost that much I would of just done it myself.

Yeah. The dealership is NUTS. I prepaid when we got the wife's forester just so I wouldn't have to deal with it.
Oil changes for the wife's car are almost $90! Then toss on another I think $75 to do a tire rotation. Friggin B.S. Jodice... I made the same mistake as you... ONCE. I was like...WTF. I can do that myself in like 12 minutes.

I called the suby dealership is Santa Cruz to get a quote on a oil change for my STi, told me 40$.. Not bad. I was thinking closer to 80$. Did I get mis-quoted?

They probably quoted you with the non-synthetic oil. I wouldn't use their oil if I were you though.
