Hi,

The best I've ever managed was just under 27 mpg (306 miles until the reserve light was permanently on) - all motorway in France at a steady 85, with the Econ button and cruise control on.

Normal tank is about 280 - 290 on c. 50 litres of fuel.

I guess I'm used to the slightly odd behaviour of Subaru fuel guages, as the ones on both my Impreza turbo and my Legacy used to be very pessimistic - I'm guessing that the system must be vaccum operated, as it takes a good 5 minutes after filling up to read as full.

Out of interest, does anyone have an idea how much difference the 'Econ' button actually makes?

Jason
