You really are twisted aren't you. You drive away people who are realistically trying to find out why their CVT doesn't match equivalent mpg with others rated the same, shine on about how people like the fuel economy compared to their old gas guzzler, ignore statistics for anecdotes, and all this without one iota of personal experience on the subject. Where's your credibility man? Do you just not care? Actually "Zeeper" could just be a guy working out of an SOA basement office.

I'm comparing real world numbers for two different vehicles that I own and are rated the same. Did I say I loved my Corolla? No, I said it gets 30% more mpg than the Impreza although they're both rated at 36 mpg highway. I'd much rather be commuting in the Impreza but it's not worth $8 a day in gas.

I don't recall anyone on the forum who asked you to talk about your personal Corolla anecdotes. Honestly, I think nobody but you gives two turds. Last edited by Zeeper; 07-17-2013 at 07:52 AM. |

They are not comparing, dissembling, or fixated on proving anything. Read their posts, there are plenty of NASIOC members who are regularly meeting and exceeding the HWY MPG's driving their Impreza's, both with or without CVT's. Just because their "anecdotal" reporting does not match your "anecdotal" reporting does not mean they are all idiots who cannot calculate their own mpg's, or grandmothers driving the car 40 mph on the highway, or lying liar SOA reps. If you think that is the case, please call them all out each time they post. Good luck, there are a lot of them. |

I have admitted that some, even with the CVT, can achieve the EPA rating at the speed limit. Generally that is in a location where the topography is flat and the speed limit is 65 mph or less. And, I have not called people idiots (that's your turf) or "grandmothers driving the car 40 mph on the highway". Your refusal to recognize Consumer Reports' research, as in the first post of this thread, is also stupendous. |

IMHO the 2012 with CVT will get or not get the EPA estimated MPG depending on a variety of factors. Terrain (Don't know where Ground Control is), weight of the drivers (and/or passengers), the "Foot Factor" and a variety of other things. I see a difference of more than 10 MPG depending on who drives the car Mom, Dad, or Son. Accept those things that you are powerless to change - or just get a new Toyota (which also has the same problems that you stated). |

My 12 impreza was non-pzev. My XV is pzev, and it warms up in about 1/4 the time it took to make the blue light go off in the 12. During daylight hours, my blue light doesnt even illuminate. I still go easy for the first few miles.

even when i was in Wichita last week with temps over 100, if the car sat for a few hours the blue light came on for at least 20 seconds.

Secondly, you apparently don't get that the "foot factor" is not a factor at all because it's the same driver on the same commute in equivalent weather in my figures, which have been done a dozen times with virtually the same results. Not that my commute means anything relative to the dozen other cars that are rated at 30 mpg EPA highway being equal to the CVT Impreza which is rated at 36 mpg EPA highway. |

This is no surprise to many NASIOC Impreza owners, because many of them are obtaining the EPA HWY mpg's, by driving on the highway sub-70mph (and not all of them live in the flatlands, but rather than assume, why not ask them next time when they post their high mpg numbers). Odd how when stevenhmn drives it 75+mph up and down steep grades, he does not get 36mpg. I wonder why? Last edited by Zeeper; 07-18-2013 at 07:26 AM. |

Another thing you seem to conveniently forget is that all the other cars that get the same real world mpg on the easier CR highway test are rated at right around 30 mpg, so why should the Impreza not be rated the same? Quote:
Especially when I get over 36 mpg with my other car that's rated at (since you seem to have forgotten again) 36 mpg EPA highway. |

Well, my new 13 has a substantially quicker warmup time than my 12. Like I said, in 85°+ weather the blue light doesnt even illuminate most of the time. fwiw.

Your corolla comparison is irrelevant to the EPA tested mpgs for the Impreza. While it is nice for you that your corolla gets decent mpg's when driven fast, it does not make Subaru or the EPA liable for the poor mpg's you experience when you drive your Impreza faster than 75mph (not to mention you have told us that you also drive up some very steep grades at high speed). Still think you are going to receive some sort of EPA response that will satisfy you? Last edited by Zeeper; 07-18-2013 at 10:53 AM. |

this thread is funny - if you don't like your car's mileage - get rid of it - move on
some of you sound like you'd bitch about a winning lottery ticket! |

Yup, the longer Steve keeps his car the more it will cost him. I would love to see him get a new corolla and then not see epa numbers on his drive! The fact that cars don't achieve epa mpg isn't a new phenomenon....

Yes,which is even more vexing. I just went to lunch, its sat for 6 hours in the sun and its "only" 87°. The blue light came on, surprisingly, and was off in less than ten or fifteen secs. My 12 would have taken three times longer at least. But the 12's light didnt always come on either. Just sayin the xv has a much smoother and quicker warmup than my early production impreza.

I couldnt imagine getting good mpg's in mountainous, snowy, or congested areas. My mpg's have always exceeded the sticker, but the few times I've ever driven any cars with the fb engines in congested city traffic or had to drive through hilly areas, mpg's rapidly plummeted.
Luckily, I live in the sunshine state and get awesome mpg's. |
