Owner: ThermionicScott
Winter Sacrifice (retired): 1996 Subaru Outback
Displacement: 2.2 L
Fuel type: gasoline
Transmission: manual
Curb weight: 2855 lbs
Coefficient of drag: 0.32
Frontal area: 24.6 sq.ft.
Instrumentation: ScanGauge
Description: I chose this car originally because it has the bulletproof EJ22 engine with a 5-speed and great snow/off-road capability, as well as lots of space. Gas mileage wasn't stellar before I learned to hypermile, and now it's just decent. After 9 years of fender benders and road salt, it's not so pretty anymore, but it keeps going strong.

Retired in 2020 at 245,000 miles after the braking system went out.

Planned Mods: Remove rear seat when not in use?
