Let's bring it back full circle.  How much of a mpg hit will you take with knobbier/winter tires on our cars?

Very satisfied so far, used Forester suspension.  Just need a couple 1/2" spacers to level the rear out.  Steelies and snow tires coming soon

Re: Saabaru = lifted

I'll say this 5% larger diameter wheels/tires is as far as I would go on the stock Aero brakes.  You can definitely feel the difference.

Re: Saabaru = lifted

I always thought it would be fun to take my car to Silver Lake sand dunes up in Michigan.  Maybe someday after the car has quite a bit more miles and the body is beat up.  Your car would work awesome!

Re: Saabaru = lifted

Do they have dunes in Tennessee? There's a beach in California that you can drive on w/ some pretty cool dunes - never driven on it but want to some day! (probably not in my Saabaru though. ha.) Oceana/Pismo Beach

Re: Saabaru = lifted

You should turn it into one of these bad ass uphill sand drag cars.  With the lift you have, 90% of the work is done:

Re: Saabaru = lifted

Great job with the photoshops. 

Had some 1/4" spacers to put on the rear, but sent them back and ordered 1/2" with longer studs instead.  Looking forward to getting the rear up as high as the front, possibly a little higher.

Let's get this thread back on topic: just filled up at Valero in El Dorado Hills and it was $3.67 for 91octane. Not too bad!
