#93 of 98 Winter mileage by nornet Apr 04, 2009 (5:11 am)
Just removed the winter tires and have averaged just under 21 mpg since November. This is with an aggressive winter tread and winter blend gas. Not very impressive but you can't be obsessed by mpg.
#94 of 98 Re: 1st tank mpg 2009 Outback SE [ateixeira] by morin2 Apr 04, 2009 (5:30 pm)
Replying to: ateixeira (Apr 03, 2009 9:39 am) You may be driving your new Miata in a bit more spirited way than I have so far driven my Outback. I had to smile when I saw your post because I had narrowed my choice to the outback and miata (my wife has a Forester and my son has my old 94 Legacy). More (any!) twisty roads on my commute and I might have gone Miata. Had I bought a Miata, I would have kept my truck for its utility. I chose to trade in the truck rather than allow it to sit mostly unused in my barn with the poor quality E10 gasoline in its tank. Nothing good happens to vehicles that sit unused. I'm very happy with the new Outback. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Apr 13, 2009 10:27 am)

Replying to: morin2 (Apr 04, 2009 5:30 pm) The Miata is my 2nd car, I also have a minivan for family duties.   I love it, but it makes a terribly unpractical "only car". I could never do it if I didn't have the van.
#96 of 98 1996 Outback 2.2l, 5-speed, MPG 28.3 by bruce_brown Jul 13, 2009 (11:14 am)
Hello,   I have a 1996 Outback wagon with the 2.2l engine, 5-speed transmission, and quickly approaching 200,000 miles. The last 21,000 miles I have averaged 28.2 MPG.   We also have a 1995 Impreza wagon with the 1.8l engine, auto trans, awd and about 185,000 miles. I don't drive it very often so the records aren't as detailed due to my wife and daughter sharing the care. Teenagers never fill the tank, lol. However, when I do drive it on long trips it averages 1-2 MPG less then the bigger Outback. Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jul 29, 2009 7:46 am)
#97 of 98 MPG at 5k by staypuft Jul 14, 2009 (5:40 pm)
So far my 09 Legacy SE PZEV 5-spd gets 24 mpg mixed city-freeway to work and 30 mpg on the last 500 mile trip (no mountains) at an average speed of 80.   Very pleased considering my lead foot.
