I just bought a 08 SE Legacy 2.5 auto. and I am getting 23 miles to the gallon combined. I live in a rural area not a big city. It only has 2k miles on it and I am taking it easy so it will break in nicely.

I picked up my Outback used from a friend in March, '03. It had 34,513 on the odometer when I first filled it up. My lifetime mpg today, at 67,564 miles, is 23.08. I've had three tanks over 30 mpg, and three under 15 mpg, so I figure all of those are aberrations that cancel each other out. I can see a slight trend for better mpg in the winter, likely because it has a black leather interior and 105°F isn't all that unusual here in Boise in high summer. Most of those miles are interurban, and I'm a pretty relaxed driver usually, at least pulling away from the light. Steve, visiting host

| We just picked up our 08' Legacy Sedan SE this Thurs and are thrilled with it thus far! Our first tank of gas yielded 23.7 mpg on mixed city/highway driving - most of what I would call "suburban" driving. | |

Replying to: tswitz (Jul 20, 2008 6:14 pm) It's early and I expect improvement down the road but I'm wondering if the trip computer is generally this overly optimistic or there might be some other factor involved.

Replying to: steve_ (Apr 30, 2008 7:23 am) Have filled it up three times now, and have calculated that I am averaging only 12.5 to 13 litres per 100k (that's 18.1 to 18.7 miles per gallon). Seems oftly low, especially when moving from my 87 Camry that was yielding me 29 miles to the gallon, even now at 22 years old). Anyone suffer poor mileage on these? I know they're all-wheel drive, which consumes more, but this seems lower than normal. Will a full tune-up help? The tires are properly inflated. Thanks, DA Toronto, ON
