With the price of gas being what it is, your real world mileage is becoming more important than the estimates on the sticker. This is the place to talk about your real world on the road results! Replies to this message: hypov (Aug 22, 2007 10:51 am) ateixeira (Aug 27, 2007 11:01 am)

50 posts in a year hardly qualifies but I suppose you're trying to make the forums easier to search.   -Frank Replies to this message: tidester (Jun 13, 2006 7:35 pm)

25.1 mpg lifetime average.   Peak of 30.4 mpg on a trip.   Low of 17.3 mpg while towing a 1500 lb trailer the entire time.   -juice

'05 FXS, manual 5 speed, 31k miles in 19 months. Usually 380-410 miles between fill-ups, wait for low-fuel light to go on.   October thru April - 28 mpg May thru September - 30+ mpg (difference due to seasonal temp variation (eastern Pennsylvania) and winter gas additive changeover at refineries)   Best mpg - 32.3 on 440 miles (same tank of gas) mostly long distance. Last month. Worst - first tank, at 24.5 Replies to this message: ateixeira (Jun 21, 2006 10:03 am) outpost05 (Sep 06, 2008 6:25 pm) ateixeira (Sep 08, 2008 6:52 am) and 2 more...

Replying to: growler5 (Jun 21, 2006 8:58 am) Sweet, the EPA rated yours at 23/30 and it looks like those numbers are definitely possible.   -juice Replies to this message: outpost05 (Sep 06, 2008 6:25 pm) ateixeira (Sep 08, 2008 6:52 am) outpost05 (Sep 08, 2008 12:42 pm) and 1 more...

Averaging about 20 miles per day or about 7,300 miles per year. Mostly short trips, but I make my commute a bit longer to allow the engine to warm fully. Steady diet of 92 octane from Super America. Reformulated fuels and winter oxygenated blends (10% ethanol year-round). Shifts almost always between 3-4k rpm and not afraid to let the rpm's go higher if/when necessary.   best: 26 mpg (all highway at 75 mph) worst: 18 mpg (winter) average: 21 mpg   Average mpg up until this past winter was 1 mpg better than my Outback. Partial thanks to winter fuel, no doubt.   -Brian

(my first Subie and was prior to my '04 F-XT)   Averaged 26 miles per day, or about 9,500 miles per year. 87 octane from Super America. Reformulated fuels and winter blends both with 10% ethanol.   best: 28 mpg (highway trip) worst: 17 mpg (again, winter) average: 22 mpg   -Brian
