Gen 6 – Poor fuel mileage!

Back in May I bought my Outback Limited with the 2.5 motor. I love this thing, even the annoying safety features, but I’ve been shocked by the poor gas mileage! I keep track of fuel consumption, and took it into the dealership after 12 & 14 MPG tanks of gas. Of course, they couldn’t find anything out of spec, but have left my ticket open. Whoopie! I had been using Regular gas, and turning the ultra annoying start/stop feature off, but decided to start using it, and go high test. i’m not expecting Prius numbers. The lack of aerodynamics, and ride height contribute to its performance. Running premium, the MPG numbers are still kind of erratic, about 20 miles per gallon, but running premium has made a dramatic improvement on how that motor runs, so there’s that. She’s more fun to drive, but I see cars like the 500 hp C8 Corvette get 28 miles to the gallon, so I’m like come on Subaru you’ve got to be able to map this motor better than that.
