Don't forget to reset the avg MPG once in a while (hold the button down) so it will reflect the most accurate readings.

I use 91 octane, 70% highway, driving conservatively with the occasional bursts of speed (merging). I get about 300 miles per fill up. 30.2 on the monitor. I have a K&N drop in filter.

I finally got a tank of almost all highway the other day. Clocked in at 29.3 MPG but that's with me going 85 MPH almost the entire way (unless some clown was owning the left lane and made me slow down). I also have 245 width, super sticky tires which doesn't help at all.

My 6 speed manual is getting 18.9 at the moment. Then again, I just got it, and have been driving like an asshole almost the entire time. Its still the dealerships gas, so I dont feel too guilty about it :-p

I have the limited 6sp manual.

Curious to see if auto owners are getting the 34+ range.

On road trips where I drive more fuel consciously I will get 35-38 mpg. Daily driving to and from work, errands, etc. I drive more aggressively and get about 25 mpg according to the dash. My calculations at the pump tell me that the dash reads about 1-2 mpg higher than actual fuel economy. I am driving a manual with oem subaru oil and stock wheels and tires.

Scratch that. I looked this morning and it said 24.2. Just drove to my nephew's birthday partyand got 34.2. So yeah, quite impressed.

6MT. 30-40 mile commute everyday from home to work, vice versa. 60% highway/ 40% city. Stock tires/wheels. OEM Subaru oils (recently changed as well). Shifting at around 2.5k - 3k; never above 3.5k. 91 Chevron Gas. According to the dash board, I get about 28.3 mpg. It's weird that sometimes I only get like 250 - 270 miles to a 9 gallon tank and there are other times when I get hit 300 miles easy with 9 gallons of 91 pump gas.

One Advantage of living in Amish Land where the speed limits are 40 - 45 and the Horse and Buggies are around every corner.

That's exactly what I thought when I read the post.

Average over 19k miles is 29.2mpg. Knocking off the two highest and two lowest, my range is 22.2 - 35.0 mpg.

To be fair, auto might not help. It is probably due to the fact that the Amish speed limit leads to a certain gear and at this gear, the engine hits the sweat point. If he is driving at 40 mph at 6th gear, and you switch it to an auto transmission, the small gear ratio of the AT will make the speed unsustainable and leads to 5th gear and worse mpg.
