ThosL Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I got a little over 400 miles on my last 15 gallon tank, which works out to 26-27 mpg. '99 Outback with a '96 2.2 engine, 288k miles. How are others doing for mileage in their cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp98 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 98 Outback with the 2.5, I got 32mpg on a 240 mile trip over the passes in Colorado at freeway speeds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtdogs Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) DD's 97 Impreza OBS auto transmission, 157k miles (just bought a couple of months ago), averages 22.5 mpg with almost all city driving. She is also a beginner driver so driving in a fuel-efficient manner is not quite yet something she's got down. But a month ago got 27 mpg on a tank that got highway driving and an ascent/descent of 6000 feet, and a bit of off-roading as well.

fishy Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 2005 Outback wagon 2.5i auto. Currently around 9L/100km which is about 26mpg in your American pesos. (That's with mostly shorter trips and still cool mornings) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfman01 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 In town is running about 25 - 27 mpg, and I've seen as high as 43 on the highway. 2015 Impreza with the NA 2.0/CVT. I must also add that I keep to a max speed of 55 on the higway, and utitlize every safe means possible to reduce fuel consumption when I drive.

valvestem Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 I have a '15 Forester CVT with the readout showing 25mpg average over just 1000 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe5 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) my 92 loyale gets 28-31mpg on freeway, a little less in town crap...wrong section! my bad, you new car people have at it! Edited April 22, 2015 by joe5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith3267 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) 2014 Legacy 2.5 CVT. The readout shows between 30 and 31.5 just before each fill up, but actual calculations result in 28.5 to 30. On a cross country of 4k miles, the range did not change, but I was driving between 75 and 90 and not practicing any gas saving techniques. 1895 miles in two days each way.

987687 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) I get about 20mpg in my 2.2 swapped forester... I used the 2.2 I swapped into my outback along with the outback ECU. Turns out the outback ECU can't talk to the 6-wire o2 sensor AND my check engine light is burned out. So for the last few thousand miles I've been running with no o2 sensor I guess I need to swap the crank and cam triggers over so I can run the forester ECU, and probably buy a new damn sensor.... At that point I'm hoping to see something in the higher 20's like the rest of you LOL. Edited April 22, 2015 by 987687 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 96 Legacy L 2.2 lifted 4" does 26-27 highway, 25ish on 70+ interstate. 95 Legacy L fwd 2.2 does 32-33 highway. 30-31 interstate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnatchedHatch Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 (edited) My 98 Impreza OBS 2.2l 4EAT auto gets about 22-23mpg while doing a combination of in-town and interstate (45-60mph) driving. I think it's about 19-20mpg purely in town, and capped at 26mpg on the Highway. My big Fozzie tires are to blame (215/60R16), On my stock sized tires (205/60R15), I was doing 22mpg in town and around 27mpg on the highway. I'm adjusting my false mileage readings due to them, fairly accurately using this handy tire size converter http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/tirecalc.php?tires. Edit: I too drive like a hoon.

nipper Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 2005 Outback, if I keep it under 70 I can get 30 mpg. Around town it can be 18-22. We have stop signs on every 1000' long block and traffic lights everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaru_dude Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 1994 legacy wagon 4eat awd, highway with lots of hills I get 28 as long as I keep it under 70mph. Got 30.5 on a freak tank once though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, does no one make tune stuff for the Subaru's? I know a dealer can adjust my Durango or I can get a supertune to do it. With a VSS it should just be a calibration setting in the ECU.

lstevens76 Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 In the Legacy I was averaging 29 to 34 (yes 34mpg on a round trip from Boise, ID to McCall, ID and back). That's a '90 Legacy 2.2L w/ a 5MT w/ Stock size 14" tires. In the OBS around time (80% highway for 13/15 mile trips) I'm averaging right around 30mpg. That is a '96 OBS 2.2L w/ stock 185/70/14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upnorthguy Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 About 15 mpg in my 95 LS with EJ22 with 4EAT and stock 195/60/15 tires. Driving around town (up to 50 mph) with trips generally 1-5 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirtokesalot Posted April 23, 2015 Share Posted April 23, 2015 95 legacy wagon 2.2 4eat i averaged about 21 mpg. i dont drive the highway much so this is an average of all driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) It is interesting between the two cars. the outback is 19-21 max in my town. The Justy is 30. On the highway the Outback gets 30 (below 70). They Justy gets 36 no matter how hard you beat on it. I choose the Outback for long highway drives, the Justy for congested drives.

falconer315 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Put in 10 gallons the other day, and usually go about 250 miles on that. Fuel light came on about 275 miles but only took about 13.5 gallons on a 15 gallon tank. 2005 Baja Sport, mix of hwy/city, could call it appx 25-27 miles/gallon. (Heck of a lot better than the 18-20 I was getting with my Hyundai.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThosL Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 I have noticed the fuel economy drops significantly in my 2.2 Outback at high 60s and 70 mph, I guess the stress drops fuel economy, as I got 350 miles in my last tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
