Replying to: kyfdx (Sep 21, 2009 4:15 pm) That certainly was my feeling when I drove the 2010 Forester and CVT 2.5i Outback sequentially. However, the sloppy handling of the Outback added to the problem of its excessive noise. The 3.6 Outback which I drove first was nice other than for the soon-to-be broken-off mirrors. |

is my latest single tank reading - filled up today. After my disappointing results recently, I decided what the hey, I would stop focusing so much on saving gas and start having more fun with the car (!!), and I was surprised to find that the fuel economy reading dropped very little. For the first 5000 miles I have averaged 28 mpg right on the nose. '09 OBS 5-speed.

Definitely had to go slow, coasted to all the red lights, etc. But I was pretty impressed. I didn't take the highway once. YMMV is as true as ever. You'll get anywhere from 23 to 30 mpg in the 'burbs depending upon how you drive, and the length of your trips. Warm ups kill mileage.

Replying to: ateixeira (Oct 05, 2009 7:58 am) Interestingly, I completely ignored fuel-saving techniques in 200 miles of driving this weekend, because I ended up running late more than once, and despite that the dashboard readout said 30.0 when I got home! That would translate to a real-world 28.5, among my best results in this car. So I don't get it. I haven't been driving it all that much, 800-1000 miles a month, which is only 2 fill-ups per month, and I am wondering if I am losing enough to evaporation while it is parked that it is bringing my average down.... |

Replying to: ateixeira (Oct 06, 2009 12:07 pm) I must say that, thus far, I love the PZEV on my car! Not only does the car warm up astoundingly fast (probably close to half of the warm-up time of previous Subaru vehicles), but it also burns very clean. So much so, in fact, that the other night when I had it in a shop to winterize it, I could not smell any exhaust at all after backing it into the space and letting it run for a minute or so. Now, if there is CO in there, that is not necessarily a good thing, but it sure gave the impression of clean.  The only down side that I can tell so far is that it idles very strangely during warm up.

Replying to: xwesx (Oct 06, 2009 12:21 pm) Yeah, I noticed that too, it stumbles quite a bit and is generally fairly funky to drive when it's cold. But since my old Subaru did that too even when it was new, I just figure it's one more Subaru "quirk", and if it is somehow contributing to the ultra-fast warm-up this car does, I am all for it!
