The EPA range: 481 miles City MPG:27 Highway MPG:33 so something may be amiss. I have an excellent low priced cash mechanic who worked at Flemington Subaru for nearly two decades. He has his own backyard garage with a lift. He is located just West of Geaker's Tacos on Freemansburg Ave (~ 8 miles from Easton in Bethlehem Township). I have been to him four times and he has always been fairly priced and does excellent work. If you send a personal message I can give you his contact information. Address is 3105 Fairview Street. His name is James Toth, and mine is Frank Martin. His personal Subaru RS has almost 270,000 miles.

I believe the OP's comment about 30 and 70 was percentage of city vs hiway driving, nothing to do with mpg!
The Subaru fuel economy seems to be more affected by cold temps than anything we've had over the years. Significant decrease over summer when it was new.

What is the app you are using for tracking your fuel?
FWIW, I just used a spreadsheet for a year. I know a lot of folks here use Fuelly.

Hello all 😃 (hope your week is going well ),
Just a little follow up regarding the MPG and again to reiterate how much fun the Crosstrek is to drive.
So after I did a basic service on her, and by the state of the air filter, sludgy oil and low coolant I kinda knew I would see some kind of improvement even if it was just a little but a little it wasn't, it was amazing.
I have just had my mum and sister visit from London UK and I drove from Langhorne, PA up to Newark airport and back, the MPG was CRAZY GOOD! 😁
I did take the I-95 which does have stop lights but on average was very much straight and not much traffic, I had filled up before leaving and rest the trip and MPG counter on the Subaru.
By the end of the round trip the needle was just above the 3/4 full mark and I drove 133 miles.
In the Subaru was my mum, sister, me and my wife with two very large suitcases and two carryon bags (for weight reference)...I just can't believe how great it was.
On the way back the snow fall was a little hard (not like in Calgary) but was very wet and the Crosstrek handled it like a pro..solid and stuck to the road every inch of the way.
I love this car so much even though it really is for my wife.
So i guess the mileage thing is sorted.
Thank you everyone for commenting.. 🎆🎉
I'll leave this thread open incase anyone else may need help or can get some tips from it.

I use Fuelly. it takes 30 seconds after pumping gas to input the information to the app and it calculates automatically.

Yep. The driver seat has a little tear about 1 1/2" by the side plastic guard. I said to my wife that I'll take it to the local upholster, hopefully they can get it repaired.![]()

Too be completely honest I've never paid attention or even looked at that display.

Interesting how many owners have found the "exaggerometer" so far off. I tracked my mpg for 5,000 miles. The exaggerometer averaged 0.5mpg higher than my calculated mpg. Not bad at all.
