Way ahead of its times for a Subaru
At one point in the movie it is mentioned that a Subaru gets 39 miles per gallon on highway driving and 29 miles on city driving. This was back in 1977. I know that to not be true because I used to drive a 1999 Subaru and it didn't get nearly such good gas mileage. Even a modern hybrid gets about 44 miles per gallon on highway driving, not much more than the 39 miles mentioned in the movie, I know because I now drive a 2009 hybrid.
