Not bad!

On the Forester it's returning around 39-41 mpg.

That is 50-50 mix (city/highway) and going quite fast on the highway, 70-100 mph.

Had Fabia VRS for last 3 years, I went semi sensible after 6 years of subarus. Used to get about 52 from that so quite pleased ... especially when Mr Soobroo was moaning tonight about his 22 mpg !!!!

I've been averaging about 700 kms on a tank (diesel), which is way better than the 400 kms on my WRX.....................

Going to see if I can get it up to 45 mpg..................
