I knew my car was built pre-January based on picking it up in December. But didn't look at the manufacture date until today just out of curiosity. Mine was built in October!!! I really DO have one of the firsts. =)

My first (lemoned car) was the first 170th car made. Crazy to think it was a 1st day car.

I wonder what that build date really means. If it takes 8-10 weeks to get a car, and 3-4 weeks of that is transportation and adding options at the port, that leaves a month or more for assembly.
I wonder how much of the car is built on the "build date." |

mine was built in Feb 2012 and i received my vehicle on April 3rd. of course, that gives 29 days of uncertainty to calculate the time of transport... |

I do to be honest........It seems to be getting better MPGs every 5K or so...first noticeable increast was after the first oil change and around 4K....then around 10K it slowly creeped up again....whether its the change in weather, fuel blends not sure.....but driving habits and route havent changed...

have you changed oil since 4k? (did the increase happen with a second oil change?) i've found that the couple of new cars i've owned or watched (my parents), they have tended to get their biggest boost in the first few thousands of miles, but ultimately hit their stride (although not a huge increase) over a gradual run of 20k. (don't tell SOA or they will probably start feeding this as the party line ) |

Well, at least 55 on a coutry road lets you open all the windows and enjoy the scenery. Once in a while I take the MPG gauge under the speedometer as a challenge to see what I can get for mileage.

Accelleration is another issue, I'm going to pay close attention to how me car behaves after watching the video. I find myself doing a pedal pump (release then apply) to induce a "down shift" accellerating onto the highway... I ordered on President's Day and took delivery early April. Are we learning yet? |

even MTs, IMHO, it's wise to stay in gear all the way to the light (i know lots of friends who pop it into neutral approaching a stoplight/stop sign) by gently downshifting so you are in gear in the case the light turns green or something happens which requires you to gas it and go... |

i'm currently on my worse case scenario type of tank. mostly stop and go traffic, no drive greater than 5 miles before completely cooling down and i'm in the 25s right now on the computer. (prior which mixes this bad driving with some highway is 29 calculated 30 on the computer) it's funny you mention your regular method of filling up. mine is usually (prior to this car) fill to click and then fill up to the nearest dollar. i was only doing weird amounts on my first two tanks of fuelly and then decided in the long run, i might as well just go back to my usual habit since it's easier when one is paying cash. (it's discounted for paying cash) in the end, it should all average out and a max of 1/4 gal isn't going to make a huge difference in the calculated mileage. |

Thanks |

interesting...though it makes me wonder why they didn't issue it until January...or was it available to dealers, but just not as a TSB?

Anyway, I have called now and logged a compalint with SOA. I think everyone needs to call SOA and log an official compalint about these low MPG's issues. |

While this might be true, there seems to be a huge information disconnect here. Even with the TSB data of 1-16-2012 and tons of people calling Subaru to complain about MPG and drivability, *no one* had information on this update until a couple weeks ago when it hit the Subaru technical page. With hundreds of enthusiastic 2012 Impreza owners just on this forum, seems weird that it went 3.5 months of being "available" until people knew.
