go up to 1000 and stay there for a while and repeat this cycle. Is this
normal? Any other vehicle I have had usually stays pegged at ...

Hey all, I just got a letter in the mail about subaru protection plan, which
appears to be their extended warranty.  My warranty is up in 4 months, and
I've been thinking about getting an extended warranty - our 2002 TS Wagon
