I am considering purchasing an XT over the nonturbo, but am a little concerned about MPG. I do think it could be coaxed a bit for higher mpgs. I used to have a Mini Cooper S, which was supercharged, EPA was 28hwy, and i consistently got 32 mpg AVERAGE with a 6 speed. What are you guys seeing?

Replying to: occking (Mar 13, 2009 9:43 am) Was hoping to run into snow, I really wanted to try this out. Have been all around upstate NY last few days, Plattsburg over to Massena, now back down in Lake Placid tonight. Saw a few patches of snow on the sides of the road, but not enough to driver over. Oh well, may have to wait until next year.

Replying to: occking (Mar 24, 2009 5:49 pm) For the first three weeks, mileage per trip computer 24.6. Actual mileage based on actual gas usage was 24.1. It was actually 23.9 but I know when I got the vehicle from the dealer although "filled" it was not "to the brim" and probably was at least a gallon short of being full. That being said, pretty close, only .5 miles difference. On my trip today, Providence RI out near Brattleboro, VT and return mpg per trip computer was 26.4, and actual was 26. Did much better on second half coming home as I was mostly on turnpike going out, but more "rural roads" coming home. Kind of hoping as this vehicle gets broken in rthe mpg will improve. Also, warmer weather will help a bit as well. I would have loved to have the "turbo" but I know the mpg would suffer, probably average low twenties, plus premium fuel. I am surprised how few turbos dealers even have in stock. Over 30 Foresters at the dealer I bought from but just one Turbo (that seems to be sitting with no takers) Will keep the board posted as I increase mileage. I think another 500+ mile trip coming up on Thursday.
