Just took the first road trip with the 02 Wagon. Made it to Medford Oregon in just under 4 hrs. Got about 300miles on that tank, probably about 29 per gal. That drive from Susanville to I-5 on 44 then 89 is awesome! My own personal GT drive, not very many people on the road and could open up the subie just a bit. Before anyone squawks, I only got to 100mph once, on a straight in the passing lane. Averaged about 75 or 80 though.
Spent the night with friends in Meford Friday, then left for Everett about 9am Sat. It rained the entire state of Oregon, Snow over Grants pass, and pouring rain all the way to Everett, got in about 4:30pm The blizzaks didn't do to bad, but I could tell they weren't rain tires. Its amazing that people don't know how to drive in the rain, even where it rains every friggen day.
Second tank of gas was about 270 miles but that was in the rain. The gas prices in Cali were over $3.05 Oregon was around 2.93 for Premium, so far in Everett 2.99 overall the A to B gas took about 2.5 tanks.
So far the trip to visit the in laws has been exciting, got back to their condo about 7pm on Easter Sunday to find the place overrun with Firemen and paramedics. The condo right next to my inlaws had a kitchen fire, they share the same wall as our kitchen. luckily for us, only damage was to the neighbors unit.....man that could have been alot worse, no damage to the inlaws, and my car was parked right in front of her apt!
Anyway, just wanted to say hello from the great wet northwest!
