A pretty steady 23mpg overall - mostly rural driving with lots of hills.

I have never reset my "B" trip odometer on my new 05 Legacy Ltd auto wagon. The trip computer at 10,000 miles yesterday showed 23.7. I am now up to 23 on most city tanks of gas and 30 on all highway tanks. Driving has been mostly city with about 5 trips to Louisville, one to Indy and 2 to Nashville so far. But with the increase in city mileage I expect overall to go up. I am going to Colorado in 3 weeks and I am going to reset "B" for the whole trip and use "A" to check tank to tank mileage. Like most others I found my first few tanks to be about .8 to 1 mpg less than the computer when I calculted it myself.

Commuting (7 miles each way) in stop & go: 18-19 mpg
Mixed weekend city (10+ mile trips in flowing traffic)/commuting: 21 mpg
Interstate 75-85 mph on average: 25-26 mpg, with bike on the hittch rack: 24-25 mpg.
 
So little below EPA, but not that much. My fuel tank seems to be smaller than 15.8 gallons, as posted in the manual (looks more like 15 gal tops).

What would really make this sort of information valuable is some summary table showing the range of milage per model and driving type.

About 18 to 20 mpg. A little better if I stay off boost.

Let's get enough sample data first, Ken, but that is a great idea.
 
Maybe I'll do a chart and categorize by model, engine type, and transmission type. But we need at least a few of each type to make the sample significant.
 
So please, if you post, include the name and model, year, trans type, and maybe even body style.
 
For example: 2002 Legacy L, 5 speed manual, wagon
 
Keep the data coming, folks.
