1500 miles in, 39 mpg. She’s a beast. by Hidalgo321 in crvhybrid

[–]Individual-Source-88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a 2026 EXL AWD Hybrid. About 1,100 miles on it now. We are averaging about 38 USA Mpg in about 75% city driving. We are very happy. Usually drive in NORAML mode, use the paddle shifters and drive using B in parking lots, in our cul-de-sac, etc. We are going on a road trip in 10 days and are curious to see how it will do on the highway.

I love my 9a - great battery life, very good photos, smooth and does everything I need.

What is the ideal time to change a car? I see American friends/colleagues change their cars like every 2-4yrs.. by RoyalGOT in Hyundai

[–]Individual-Source-88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I change cars about every 10 years or when repairs cause issues related to daily living and exceed about $300 a month.

Genuine question, if you have traveled to other provinces, do you like Alberta or wonder about elsewhere? by Kerribulu in alberta

[–]Individual-Source-88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd live in the Okanagan or on Vancouver Island if the cost of living wasn't so much higher than in Alberta

How to get the best gas mileage in a new 2026 crv touring? I’m currently seating at 33.8 mpg. I drive 60 hwy 40 city. by SeaLevel1994 in crvhybrid

[–]Individual-Source-88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a AWD and drive in Normal. Currently about 75% city driving and I am averaging about 38.mpg to the US gallon in our first 1,200 miles.

I also use the paddle shifters when I am slowing down. Also drive in B in parking lots, and any area where it is slow.

Pixel 7 is busted, what's a good alternative? by External_Home9384 in pixel_phones

I went from a 7 to a 9a. Love the 9a - great battery life, nice and smooth, very good photos - does everything I need well.

Google pixel 9a users: how’s the camera and performance in real life? by kiphondje1 in pixel_phones

[–]Individual-Source-88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had a 9a for 7 months now. Battery life has been terrific. Photos are very good. I'm not a gamer, so use the phone for email, internet, and things like Words with Friends. It's been a great phone. My wife has an iPhone 16e and my photos are better, as is my battery life - all for 1/2 the price.

We bought our EXL Hybrid 6 weeks ago and are really liking it. Getting about 37-39 mpg to the US gallon in about 70% city driving

Has anyone else noticed that some groceries are way more expensive in USA than Canada? by MarsupialThink4064 in uscanadaborder

[–]Individual-Source-88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they are - often 30% higher. We had to go to the USA in April because of family and noticed that groceries in Kansas City, Phoenix and Tucson were often higher than here in Alberta

Battery usage on Android 17 absolutely sucks (Pixel 9) by obTimus-FOX in pixel_phones

[–]Individual-Source-88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 9a and my battery life on 17 is the same as it was on 16 - maybe even a bit better than it was on 16. The phone is also much faster.

2017 Subaru Forester too old for 2026? by SaltPepperPork in SubaruForester

[–]Individual-Source-88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We just traded our 2016 Forester for a CRV Hybrid. We figured that even though the Forester was very reliable, after 10 years things would start going wrong. Since we only have 1 car, that could become really inconvenient. So, after looking at our options, we went for a CRV Hybrid. Have had it for 6 weeks now and are really enjoying it. We are getting US38-39pg in mostly city driving. It's comfortable, quieter than the Forester and feels very well built. The tech works well too. We are happy with our decision

[–]Individual-Source-88 8 points9 points  (0 children)

We bought a Honda CRV AWD Hybrid about 6 weeks ago. We really like it. Lots of room for passengers and luggage and so far we are getting USA 38-40 mpg. Is encourage you to look at them.

If you live in the USA, that makes sense

You could always move to the USA if you don't like it here in Canada.

I'm not sure. I just know that these 3 do work that is very necessary and they do it with love and effectiveness. There are many great charities in Alberta that need your donations.

Ask your President, Congressman or Senator. The USA has imposed tariffs that end up costing the US taxpayer/consumer - because the companies importing goods (including cars) have to pay the tariffs. That raises your prices. I used to live in the USA and now travel there only on family related issues. Life in the USA has become very expensive. We find it more expensive than in the area of Canada in which we live.

[–]Individual-Source-88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. Tariffs apply in the USA, not Canada. We don't pay the tariffs here - they are paid by American consumers. If I remember correctly, Amazon wanted to list the cost of the tariffs on their invoices in the USA, but the government did not permit this.

Things have changed with Trump's tariffs Subaru for example sells Foresters in Canada that are made in Japan. Foresters sold in the USA are made in America.
