Currently our 2007 Outback XT wagon gets 19-22 mpg. It has the turbo 2.5L engine and 5-speed auto tranny. The milage is disappointing.
Our old '97 Outback wagon got 22-28 mpg with a NA 2.5L engine and 4-speed auto. I know that I've gained weight since we got the old wagon but not enough to account for the mpg difference.

Why does Subaru always show there proposed cars in some irridescent orange color (BAJA) and then they do not have an orange color for the production models, even as an extra cost option.?

They definitely need to bring the new turbo diesel over here...as they're getting 50mpg out of an Outback with it!
Ought to get 60 in an Impreza platform...
