Replying to: occking (Apr 01, 2009 4:09 am) On our 2.5X Limited PZEV we've seen 33mpg and broke 30mpg for a whole trip. At higher speeds it's usually 27-28, though.

12,000 miles on the clock now, and with summer gas, getting around 24-25 in suburban type driving - 28 mpg on the highway. It's bumped up a couple MPG over similar conditions when new.

Replying to: crv16 (May 06, 2009 12:00 pm) On first leg, trip computer indicated 28.5 actual was 28.1, that's a record, so far. On seconrf fill up trip computer indicated 26.7 actual was 26.5. Just got home now with a little over 300 miles since last fill up, trip computer says 28.2 to I figure actual mpg at least 27.5 Of the 1100 miles, probably 600 miles at highway speeds, averaging just about 65 - 67, most of the balance "rural roads" perhaps 50 - 55 mph average, as far as "stop and go" maybe 50to 100 miles. Must say, so far pleased with the mpg, hope it continues to go a littler higher as I put more miles on the vehicle. The "negatives" on the car??? The rattles are beginning.... The cabin more noisy than I would like, particularly at highway speeds. You can't balance the front and rear speakers very well -- the rear speakers cannot be made very loud, bluetooth, you can hear fine but, just like with my previous car, people on the other end have a very difficult time understanding me; the cupholders should be round, not square, and actually a little too deep. Put a certain size coffee cup in and the lid sinks a little too low. |

Has anyone had this issue, and do you know a fix? I just hit 10,000 on my 2009 Forester, and my miles per gallon thingy (i'm sorry,, I can't remeber its official name) now reads -----. I looked in the manual, and thought perhaps I'd somehow managed to turn it off, but tried to follow the directions for turning it back on, and then really DID turn it off. Just empty space there. Turned it back on, and now have just dashes where the mileage used to appear.  Would love some help. Will also post on the general 2009 Forester htread. Thanks very much, Sylviecat

Replying to: ateixeira (May 11, 2009 11:04 am) Does it reset itself at 10,000 miles? Or did I (or my sister who drive it Sunday) hit something inadvertantly?

Replying to: ateixeira (May 11, 2009 12:48 pm) I had a 2006 Tribeca and, if I recall (if you have Nav) after 10,000 miles it stops recording the time used, but, it continues to show avg mpg. What I do is leave one trip odometer alone and will not reset it until I get to approx 10,000 miles. The other one I reset every time I fill up. I have been able to record as high as 28.5 on the trip computer, actual best mpg for one tankful 27.9. It does seem to be getting better as I put on more miles, but could also be no longer using winter fuel. |
