[RFI] Car Advice

[Joe]

2009 Forester 2.5X.  I wanted the turbo but wife said no...after all, it IS 
her car.  I was told in so many words my car was fast enough.  (Supercharged 
Thunderbird, highly modified)  She won.  Heh.

Nice car...very roomy...GREAT on ice and snow.  And, it is surprisingly 
peppy for a normally aspirated engine.  Mileage is the same, city/highway, 
A/C on or off.  (5 speed, BTW) It was that way with our 2000 Forester. 
(Which only got 25 mpg)

A note here...the mileage goes down to 25/26 if using ethanol 
fuel...probably why their mileage figures are so low.

And...the Yaesu FT-897D radio, works just fine in car, no runability issues 
what-so-ever.
