Agree with you being a bit conservative on the fuel cost though

Thanks for that, Jay. Given the current thread about the short life-span of Subaru shocks I figured he would get through a set every year if he's doing 25000 miles a year. I got rid of my STI long before that so wouldn't know. My discs were apparently on the way out after 8000 miles and everyone knows I drive like a granny so maybe I'm biased.
