^ Funny you would post such lunacy. Apparently Subaru themselves beg to differ otherwise they wouldn't have marketed this car as such. Clearly that is just too much for some of you to grasp. I assure you if this car was advertised with unsatisfactory fuel economy then of course as with previous Subaru models, many of those who purchased this car for the fuel efficiency and AWD woud have easily went with a FWD alternative. It's that simple. I'm sorry if you are clearly too ignorant to understand that.
Edit: Correction. You're not ignorant. You're just a hypocrite. In one sentence you say this car gets good gas mileage and that its the drivers fault. Then you say nobody should have bought this car if they wanted good gas mileage. So which is it? Oh let me guess.. Both huh? Last edited by Zauri; 03-12-2013 at 10:46 PM. |

Anyone can get over 40 mpg in an Impreza - just drive slowly enough.
If you have nowhere to go and nothing to do, feel free to drive slowly, just please stay in the right lane. The thing about driving slowly and gaining mpg is that if you figure out how much gas you save and how much longer it takes you, you're making less than minimum wage unless you're doing (well in my Impreza anyway) more than about 65 mph. In fact, here's a table - now this is flat ground, no hills, two way runs, so you're not gonna do any better mpg, although you will make a little more money if you have any hills etc. in your way. Here's how much you make (at $3.50/gallon) for the extra time, per hour: mph ____ mpg ______ $/hr 40 ______ 47 ______ $1.57 45 ______ 44 ______ $2.20 50 ______ 41 ______ $3.04 55 ______ 39 ______ $4.17 60 ______ 36 ______ $5.67 65 ______ 34 ______ $7.69 70 ______ 31 ______ $10.45 75 ______ 29 ______ $14.28 80 ______ 26 ______ $19.68 85 ______ 24 ______ $27.51 90 ______ 21 ______ $39.24 95 ______ 18 |

1. Their cars get good mpg's 2. They are happy with the car regardless 3. You are clearly insane for ever expecting this car to get good gas mileage. and seeing it from their end constantly complaining about the gas mileage isn't going to get you anywhere unless you plan on filing a claim so your options remain 1. drive slow as hell for better mpg's 2. let it go and keep the car 3. let it go and get rid of the car for a more fuel efficient vehicle down the road. That way your time and money will eventually be saved and you can drive as fast as you want |

I wanted to report back to you guys. This car is really subtle in a way. If you push it hard, good luck getting higher than 24mpg average. However, I've been running low revs as often as possible and short shifting as well as some brief spirited acceleration, have not been driving slow at all, and have put 125 miles on the past trip. My engine is at over 1300 miles so post break in here, and the driving has been a mix of highway, city and country roads. My average MPG today after I got back home was 30mpg. Seriously. On a manual at that. This car really is extremely efficient, if you drive it properly. Now if you drive exclusively in the city...well there isn't much hope in that case since propelling a 4wd system from a stop takes up a good bit of gas, but in any other application this car really is exceedingly efficient.

I know what you are saying, but honestly, you'd have to be stupid to just go out and blindly buy a car. And how you say, "many of those who purchased this car for the fuel efficiency and AWD woud have easily went with a FWD alternative.", then why didn't they do that in the first place? Its not rocket science to understand that spinning 4 wheels uses more energy than 2 wheels. How so? This car DOES get good milage depending on the driver. Yes, i say that because people are bitching about 25mpg. IF YOU were expecting something greater, then GTFO Nasioc and go buy a damn prius. Is it that hard to explain? As I posted way earlier, I achieved this with about 30% city and 70% highway driving. Was the driving style realistic? no. But did I exceed/get near subaru's numbers? yes. Before complaining about your own real world numbers and the EPA subaru has, teach your foot to drive more efficiently. I had NO problems staying above 33mpg. Quote:

Thank you for making me unsubscribe to this thread. It used to be a nice little discussion about mpg and what people all over were getting. Now as said before, it's a pissing contest.

It is called Just in Time manufacturing. They plan out days, weeks and sometimes even months in advance depending on many variables exactly what they will need for a particular day or shift. This is everything that goes into a vehicle from wheels/tires to interior, body style, paint color, etc. With Honda for example the Civic, CR-V and at the time Element were all manufactured in the same factory. The Civic was a larger volume than the Element for example so they obviously made more of them more often. For the most part they would build the exact same vehicle even down to the paint color and all options in batches of 25-50. Then they would switch to another color or even another model altogether. They had the various body panels prestacked along the assembly line as well as engines/tranny pre joined and wheels/tires all ready to go. If a company were to offer the options the way most of us would want to buy a car the cars would cost more and take longer to build. Most people would not want to wait or pay. The fully custom vehicle is what practically killed the US Auto industry in the 70's and 80's... yes build quality played a major roll but there were literally hundreds of different ways you could pre-order most American cars and trucks back then. Now there are 2-4 basic models and then within that there are subsets of "option packages" which are specific to each model. Hope this info helps. :-) |
