Insurance varies more on location, amount driven and your personal profile than type of car driven.

But yes, averaging >25 mpg without even trying even with sticky tires and me driving like an idiot. And with many parts being shared with various Toyota's and Subaru's parts will likely be cheaper if/when they break.
in the Boss I was paying for 8 quarts full syn. it sucked. I don't have an 86 yet. after this deployment, I want to get a 15. ive been wanting one and waiting for years now since their release.
