Has anyone installed a K&N air filter and seen any increase in fuel economy? My '92 Legacy seems to average 25.8 mpg hwy (US gal). And of course my fuel gauge is WAY off! 1/4 tank remaining shows 250 mi. on odo but is good for at least another 100! If I can get 1 or 2 mpg increase in economy with the K&N then sign me up!!

No not Marlboro's!! My '89 GL wagon has finally reached the end of it's road:(. I had hoped to make it to 300,000 mi. but she started to smoke on me on the interstate, kind of a " James Bond Smoke Screen". It doesn't smoke all the time just during sustained 75mph- 3500rpm driving. Oh well, she dont owe me nuthin! I actually have the original clutch in the car on the original engine. The transaxle was replaced at 256,000mi with a lower mile used one and of course I've had to change the usual timing belts, axleshafts, batteries, etc. Luckily I spotted a '92 Legacy w/ 114,000mi in the newspaper last week for $1500.00 so yeah, I bought it! (that makes it my fourth subie) Anybody want to make a deal on a '89 GL for parts? It has a newly rebuilt alternator(2 weeks ago), 3 week old CV axle and ball joints but basically the car is tired. Guess I'll be spending more time in the "Newer Generation Subarus" message board now but I'll still check in from time to time:) -----skibaru '92 Legacy, '89 GL (dyin'), '78 Volks ASI/Riviera camper, '76 Volks Westy

No, I bought the car in 1992 with 48,000 miles on it. I've adjusted the cable only once. The previous owner didn't mention any clutch replacement.

No offense but my experience using MMO caused the rear main seal on my '76 VW Westy to soften and tear on the first treatment. Just a note of caution. ----------------- I love boxers, air or water cooled!!

I've got almost 284,000 miles on the original clutch....that doesn't seem right. ------------------------------- "I wish I was the man my dog thinks I am."--unknown

Is there a "club" for 283,000 miles on an '89 GL Wagon? ______________ "My opposition is horizontal"- unknown
