Any which way, I'm not paying through the nose for a battery powered car that gets the same mileage that I got in an '82 VW diesel!
Once the Subaru diesel is out for a few years I'll probably replace the Outback with one. Mine doesn't return the numbers one would expect; I only get about 20mpg around town. With the diesel, it should bring it up to the 30's. I've been halfway considering a diesel Jeep a few years down the road, but I'd much rather have a diesel Subaru.
