Are you also a residential property manager? Because that is what the OP is working as. And who I responded to. I didn't quote you.
Not important or cool, just life and death necessary.

Also, if you were responding to OP, then quote OP. After about 3 pages in, it's reasonable to think you might be responding to multiple posters who may have said the same thing, etc.

It seems like as long as the vehicle gets around 30mpg with awd, I should be more focused on value and reliability over mpg’s. The Crosstrek seems like an idea too. Is the Rav4 hybrid awd really $10k better than the hrv, or other $25k awd vehicles? I suppose the rav4 xle with some added options could be cheaper than the xse too
A Forester will not get 30mpg, you will get more like 20mpg

If you only get 28mpg on the highway how can you be getting 30mpg combined?

It's more efficient at the average combined commute speed I drive than at 75-85mph that I drive on the highway.
