It Might be Hot Now, But Winter is Still Coming

With the rising price of gas, many of us have turned our attention to smaller more fuel efficient vehicles. These cars are great on gas and help us to offset some of the other rising prices. But living in New England, Winter is an inevitable fact of life. Being a fellow New Englander, I know how tricky it is to find balance between fuel efficiency and winter driving safety. And no matter how hot it might be right now, winter will arrive sooner than we realize.

My family drives a Subaru Outback and let me tell you how impressed I have been with how it handles- it is a MONSTER in the snow. I always knew that Subaru was a safe winter driving vehicle, as all Subaru models have Symmetrical AWD standard, but one thing I didn't realize was that most all models also get between 20-30 MPG. I guess that makes it the PERFECT vehicle for New Englanders like me.

Share some thoughts or stories about your Subaru- or take some time to learn about one today- It might be hazy hot and humid now, but snow boots hats and mittens are right around the corner...
