17-18 mpg exclusively city 26-27 mpg exclusively hwy 22-23 "mixed" EPA ratings: 22 city, 28 hwy   Worst tank--15.4 mpg (~200 summer miles strictly in the Bronx and Manhattan) Best tank--28.6 mpg (westbound I-80 between central PA and central OH)   Biggest differentiator -- AC. All other conditions being equal, I'd guess it knocks off 2-3 mpg, city or highway.   I also tend to get much better highway mileage if I use cruise control. I guess I've got a heavy accelerator foot, and the 04 doesn't have drive-by-wire.

Currently at 99300 miles.   70% Local, 30% Highway   Range: 22.5 - 24.5 MPG   Temp and load (AC inc.) are the major influencing factors here.   Alan 98 OBW Ltd

#10 of 87 2004 Forester XT by subearu May 16, 2005 (6:15 pm)
I'm averaging 21mpg over about 8k miles, or just over 1 year of ownership.   I'm not always mashing the go-pedal, but I do employ the turbo daily and shift at 3k or more usually. Typically hit WOT in 2nd or 3rd about 1x per week or so.   Miles per day average: 21 (city driving, short trips) Worst tank: 18mpg (winter, very cold February/March) Best tank: 23mpg (achieved 4 different times and in differing weather)   In comparison, my '00 Outback over 4 years average 22mpg doing the same driving patterns (sure, no turbo, but I did drive it aggressively often). It's worst tank was 17mpg (again, winter) and best tank was 28mpg (obviously all highway). Miles per day average was 27.   -Brian

#12 of 87 '02 OBW, H4 automatic by fibber2 May 17, 2005 (1:22 pm)
A pretty steady 23mpg overall - mostly rural driving with lots of hills.   Steve
