... in the 5+ years I've had the car: 97 OB 5MT 80k or so on the odo at the time steady, even 60mph for about a 200 mile trip (I never drive that way, but it WAS a mileage run) 28.2 mpg Cheers! Paul |

Not bad given the A/C was on the entire time and Bob and I took some luggage. Plus we had heavy traffic coming back. This is on my '98 Forester L 5 speed. -juice |

I just turned a 24mpg tank on my F-XT, averaging 25 miles per day. It was probably 50/50 city/highway mileage with AC usage (and of course the turbo). -Brian

In the winter with a ski box on top on the highway - 23mpg avg. This past winter in warm Arizona without ski box or roof rack cross bars in town - 22mpg avg (heavy right foot). We did some mountain driving over 8,000' and got a high of 31 mpg. On that trip we "hit" a high of 65mph and averaged about 15-30mph on the twisties (hiway 191 for example). Also did some high speed travel on their freeways and averaged around 25 mpg. Again, this is from my aging memory. Gas mileage has always been better with the factory cross bars removed. Also have a Subaru rear air deflector and Subaru bug/rock deflector on the front of the hood. Sorry that the mpg figures aren't more accurate as I usually do the math in the head and don't do numbers to the right of the decimal point.  MNSteve |
