My last few tanks were 478, 450, 475 miles. Usually about 50 miles DTE when I fill up. Driving is 80% highway.

 

My last few tanks were 478, 450, 475 miles.

Mostly highway or all downhill?

I can get about 350 to 375 mostly suburban driving with a 50/50 split commute in a hilly area.

 

anywhere from 330-380. but i am mainly city driving, and also have a roof basket

 

Usually 400-450 on for highway commuting with some around town driving. I usually run it until it has 1 bar left on the gauge.

My record was 520 miles and I averaged 34.3 mpg on that tank, and that was by accident and almost ended badly. I had about a half a gallon of gas left when I got to that gas station. I hope to never repeat that!

 

500 average. 21 mile commute to work. Mostly country roads. Last 5 miles suburban. About 9 traffic lights total. Been averaging it for about a year now. But I am very light on the gas pedal. Accelerate slowly. Average MPG 35.

 

Second tank?

Your engine is still breaking-in... don't worry so much about the mileage until you get to your 15th tank or approx 5,000 miles when the engine should get smoother.

 

Around 480 average; 6K miles; 75/25 highway/city; Fuelly says 30-32mpg.

 

I could probably stretch mine to 520+, but I do about 90% highway miles and I drive slow.

 

I am getting about 390. I have never run it dry of course, but that is the estimate when I get close to E. I drive about 80% in town, and it is a 5spd also.

 

I'm getting about 25mpg in mostly city driving. We go on the highway, also. Range from 22 to 27mpg in the first 6k miles.

 

WTF am i doing wrong?!?!?! I get about 250-270 a gas tank. But I do 99.9% city driving. I live 2 miles from work, 3 miles from school. The gym is a mile away from me and yoga is 3 miles. All those short trips kill me!!!

 

That sounds about right.

If I had those miles I would be riding my bike.

 

Yes, the short trips will kill your gas mileage. The engine never gets up to full operating temperature.

 

"Usually 400-450 on for highway commuting with some around town driving. I usually run it until it has 1 bar left on the gauge." Same for me @7K miles. Fuelly says 30.2-31.1; 80/20 hiway/city.

 

I get around 330-340 miles to a tank. Not bad considering that I have a bullbar, roof rack, and offroad tires.

 

...*yaaawn*

 

I love Subaru, and I don't speak ill of the company or my car much, but those mileage computers lie, lie, lie. My guess is they don't take enough samples over a long enough period of time, so you get averages of averages or averages of the last 50 miles, or something. In any case, it's wrong.

 

Average in the summer between 700-750 KM per tank or about 430-450 miles

 

360 today on my fill up. Question for you. How many miles pass the gas light comes on do you get?

 

410 miles on my current tank, mostly highway on the weekend, could have been 430-450, but my commute to work ruined the gas mileage.

 

450-460, all highway to work, 100 miles a day round trip.

 

Over 90-something fill-ups here's what I've noticed:

- If you follow the MPG gauge then you can easily get 400 miles per tank.

- Driving over 70mph will definitely take away from MPG. The sweet spot is 60-70.

- Another sweet spot is 30-45ish, but stopping for lights will also cut your mileage a lot.

- no reason to use anything besides 87 octane E10.

- If you want to keep good mileage don't try to stretch out your oil changes, and keep your tires at the high end of inflation range. Watch your air filter.

- Best mileage I've had over a whole tank was 31mpg (about 550 miles per tank), worst was 23ish mpg(about 350miles/tank), and as you can see below I average around 26 (400+ miles/tank). I drive a lot of either stop and go traffic or 70+ mph areas. I almost always fill up around mile 400 whether its empty or not because you shouldn't run your tank empty, it's bad for the fuel pump.

 

I'm getting 34-35mpg with my mixed driving (80% hwy). 500+ miles per tank.

 

Just did the math
Gassed yesterday
405 miles
49 liters filled it, leaving about 11 liters in the tank

 

I never Kramer my tank (if you know what I mean.) I normally fill-up at around 400-425 and I fill up around 13.5+ gallons at the pump. I read in the manual that the XV is a 15 gallon tank. My DD is roughly 25% Hwy/75 City. Based on my calculations at the pump, I am getting approx. 31 MPG (summer.), my dashboard says 33-34 MPG.
I have 16.8k on my 2014 XV.
My XV sweet spot is around 62mph. My mood plays a factor in controlling the MPG. Once you are at 80+ mph no reason to be concerned about the MPH readout, you are in a different universe now.
I love my 2014 XV Crosstrek in TOP.
Good day.

It's a 16.2 gallon tank.

 

I'm with freeasabird and Rorgaard. I use pencil and paper for fill-ups seeing that the average computer read out is a couple clicks higher.

The CVT, just one week old, [1] fill-up so far, 436 miles, 31.38 mpg [7.5/100km] 25% urban/75% extra urban. Hilly, rainy while contending with the crazy folk terrain [NYC to central CT back to UpState]. I think the first tank is a keeper.






Edited cuz too much verbiage.

 

I ran from Montreal to Toronto about 596 KMs and used half tank only on highway.

 

Another fill-up [the 2nd fill-up since purchase] with the CVT 2015.

438.7 miles [706 km]
14.55 gal [US] [55 litres]
30.15 mpg [US] 7.8 L/100km
Multi Function Display read 33mpg average for this tank. [hilarious]

60% extra urban, 40% stop and go Urban. [moving average for this tank =34 mph/55kph]
