Because not everyone on NASIOC has a 2015. Hard to believe, I know.

I filled up a bit over 16 gallons before. I guess there's a little extra room in the tube to the fill cap. I don't top off. I really need to start paying attention to that light more I must have been minutes from empty...

everyone needs to stop pushing your fuel tank to the limits.
you are just consistently burning/heating/overheating your fuel pump.

SI drive's Intelligent setting on the STi reduces engine power for better fuel economy.

So my base '15 with the base rear view mirror...I just figured out that it has two pivot points. One on the back of the mirror itself, and one against the windshield. Duh

After 3400 miles I now have finally raised my rear view mirror up higher. It has been basically the only issue I have had with this car. Can't believe I didn't figure this out sooner in the month and a half of ownership here. I think that the plastic pivot was so stiff that I thought it actually didn't move like it did.

Props to SubiSpeed for showing me how do take the mirror off the windshield, here in this video...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVqoMaD47NU.

I just took the thing off like he did in the video and was inspecting it and eureka, my mirror has way more movement available to it than I had realized.

Can't wait to drive it to see the difference. I'd guess I raised it up out of my way by 4 inches at least (not exactly sure). It was such a stupid annoyance for me having it as low as I did, but it was so stiff I just thought it did not have two pivot points. I knew that couldn't be correct.

Yep...two pivot points on the rear view mirror.

It's like that on every car. I do that to every rear view mirror in the cars I drive otherwise I would have a huge blind spot looking to the right of the car. I'm 6'2" & have a long torso.

LOL, I put up with the low rear-view on my '09 STI for 6 years. Had no clue there was a double-pivot. Ha!

You'll need to use the service manual. You can find it at Subaru's Tech Info site (Link). All the instructions are in that website, but basically you pay for 72 hours of access, then download whatever pages you need. It's broken up into pretty small chapters, so you'll need to flip through and figure out exactly what sections you'll need.

I wish there were two USB ports. Would be nice to have both USB and my iPhone plugged in at the same time.

Anyone know if a small USB hub would work to have both connected at the same time?
