Loving my MPG
I now have 24,000 miles on my 2012 Impreza. I've been consistently getting 36.6 mpg this spring so far.
Here it is a year ago... |

CVT or MT?
I have an MT and I'm fairly happy with my fuel efficiency too considering it's an AWD car. I'm just over 3k miles now and I'm averaging 31-32 mpg, but my commute includes a bunch of city driving. I've had one tank so far where I've done mostly highway driving and came out around 35 mpg. |

Milage seems better so far this spring also for us. Filled up and reset the display on be highway and saw 38 mpg. Filled up and hit the highway today and was seeing 36 mpg again. Have to see how the trend continues this spring. Sitting at 17k miles. Will have to see what it actually calculates our as.

My 5MT averages ~35 MPG on a combination of highway and curvy rural roads.
Count me as another happy owner. I'm seeing FB Imprezas everywhere. I read that the '12s have outnumbered the '11s by at least 3:1. Strangers track me down in parking lots to ask me about the car. I've had it for over a year now and I still get compliments on it. |

Well, that is close to what I got on my '03 WRX on premium fuel. (Actually 22.4 on average)
There is however another thread for complaining about mileage. Several actually. This is a happy thread! I too am happy with the return on mileage out of my '13 CVT. Averaging 33.3 right now. John |

Ignorance? How so?
I have not disputed anyone that was unhappy with their fuel economy. I don't think people are making it up. I have simply stated what I am getting. Nothing more, nothing less. I bough this car expecting around 10 mpg better than the '03 WRX it replaced, and on regular, rather than premium, fuel. For me, it has delivered what I expected. Frankly, I didn't give a ***** about other cars because I had 100% reliability for 10 years out of my rex. Because of that, I wanted another Subaru. Otherwise, I may have looked into other vehicles as well. John |

Maybe you get the mpg Subaru advertises, and if so good for you. If you're happy about your mpg in your CVT and it gets poor mileage then "ignorance is bliss" applies. If a product doesn't perform as advertised I consider it false advertising.
The CVT Impreza gets mpg that is smack dab in the middle of the 30 mpg EPA highway crowd. Therefore, I consider that false advertising, or at least deception - same thing. Those who proclaim the CVT can get what is advertised if only the driver would slow down are indeed ignorant. I've shown I can get 50 mpg with the CVT Impreza if I drive slowly enough. The most laughable are those who claim the CVT gets good mpg when they own the manual transmission version. |

My '13 sport cvt gets 34-38 highway. My niece bought her cvt same time, and she drives hwy 75 miles a day and avg 38 mpg for last 3 tanks since she added cruise. We love our scoobies, and I'm adding 3 more as my fleet cars for the practicality and mpg they get.

During the winter I was getting 33 mpg. When I got the car last spring I was getting 36 mpg. Good to see it is back. Again, this is mostly highway.

I do get consistently between 29 and 32 MPG with an Impreza Sport with CVT driving an 82 miles round trip commute. I can do better on days traffic is kind to me (like holidays). I also have a Yakima Fatcat snowboard rack attached to the aero crossbars and an Inno fairing. I drive mostly 35/65% City/Highway.
I do strongly believe (and have experienced) this car can do better than 36 MPH highway if you drive it under or around 65 MPH. The city driving is what really takes a toll with the MPGs. I do have 13K+ miles on mine and my "break in period" came around 7k miles. I didn't believe in that until I experienced it. I went from getting 25/29 MPGs and being mildly disappointed to my current MPGs and being very happy with the car! The main factor for me getting this car was the fact that you get a decent AWD system, space to seat 4/5 adults comfortably, "reliability", and decent MPGs. I also like the looks of it (except the look from straight back) and I think it is safe to say it will age gracefully. If I would have to take the decision of buying a car again, I would buy it again. I also have recommended it based on my satisfaction with the car. There are other things that I don't like about the car (Mostly cosmetic and design wise) but the thinks I like outweighs everything else. If you are not happy with your car and you have not cracked the 10K miles, hang in there, there are brighter days ahead of you. If you have passed the 10K mark and are not getting what you expect, try adjusting your driving technique, google "hypermiling" and see if some of those techniques can help you improve MPGs. |

I have no regrets with my car either, Id buy it again. Maybe hatchback though, but everything else the same.
Id even still get the cvt. Besides being boring, i have no complaints. The fuel economy is a huge plus, sometimes I complain if I dont break 40 mpg on the highway, but 39.4 mpg on awd isnt so bad either i guess... lol |
