Subaru suggests a 19% increase in fuel economy directly due to the CVT itself. so we're looking more like 19city/24hwy MPG at best with a manual transmission on premium fuel only. Fuel economy has always been one of the many downsides of turbocharging and it remains. The HP and TQ gains are not free.
Oh really? I have noticed an extra +20 miles per fill up and I drive more aggressive now with the turbo.
