#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

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

#14 of 87 Real World by twrx May 19, 2005 (6:20 am)
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.
#15 of 87 03 WRX Wagon by dino001 May 19, 2005 (11:14 am)
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).
#16 of 87 Summary? by kens May 19, 2005 (1:09 pm)
What would really make this sort of information valuable is some summary table showing the range of milage per model and driving type.   Ken
#17 of 87 93 Legacy Touring wagon by erics6 May 19, 2005 (2:48 pm)
About 18 to 20 mpg. A little better if I stay off boost.
