2013 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.0L H4
5-speed manual AWD
Wow, this is what I said after 2 days with the vehicle, winter driving, and its cold winter here. I averaged 7.6 l/100km, mixed city and highway driving, at -20 celsius, through snow most time of these 2 days. Very impressive for awd vehicle!

Good reported gas mileage.
2012 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.0L H4

Got 36 MPG right out of the dealer. Have gotten up to 39 MPG with cruise
2012 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 2.0L H4
6-speed shiftable CVT AWD
Oustanding fuel economy for a all wheel drive...the highest mpg all wheel drive of any manufacturer.
2008 4dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD
much better than expected, considering all wheel drive, and a bit of a heavy foot
2004 4dr Sedan 165-horsepower 2.5L H4
5-speed manual AWD
28+ MPG, nothing to complain about.
2004 4dr Wagon 165-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed automatic AWD
I get 23-26mpg around town, 28-30 highway, which I consider very very good for an AWD car. I get same fuel economy as many non AWD cars.
2004 4dr Wagon turbocharged 227hp 2.0L H4
5-speed manual AWD
I have gotten 28mpg on the highway, which makes it perfect for road trips.
2002 4dr Sedan turbocharged 227hp 2.0L H4

2010 4dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L H4
5-speed manual AWD
Really crappy, especially for a 2.5L 4 cylinder engine. 22 MPG average. 18 city, 27 highway is what I got.
2010 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4
5-speed manual AWD
Not really dislike, I didnt expect civic like mpg. Around town mileage suffers, but on the highways the car cruises quite easily. You can expect ~25mpg on average combined (with no led food). Impressive for the hp and AWD.
2009 4dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD
low fuel economy because of AWD components
2008 4dr Hatch 170-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD
For such a small car with NA 170hp engine the economy is rather poor ~24mpg.
2008 4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed automatic AWD
Pathetic for a compact sedan at <28 mpg highway. The AWD system must be a huge fuel sink.
2008 4dr Hatch turbocharged 305hp 2.5L H4
6-speed manual AWD
It drinks gas like a collage student on a drinking binge

The fuel economy was not within our target range for a new car.

The WRX did not get the kind of mileage our family was looking for in a new vehicle.
2007 4dr Wagon turbocharged 224hp 2.5L H4
5-speed manual AWD
For a car of that size, the fuel economy is dismal. I get about 19 in the city, which is where most of my driving is done. That is marginally better than any SUV.
2006 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 2.5L H4
6-speed manual AWD
very heavy on fuel. Between 6 and 8 km per litre standard
2006 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 2.5L H4
6-speed manual AWD
Not a gas guzzler, but not a gas sipper either. Aggressive driving = poor fuel mileage
2006 4dr Wagon 173-horsepower 2.5L H4
5-speed manual AWD
Not as good as other 4 cylinders(19 - 20 mpg on the city)
2005 4dr Sedan turbocharged 300hp 2.5L H4
6-speed manual AWD
Average 18mpg with mixed driving. Requires premium.
2005 4dr Sedan turbocharged 227hp 2.0L H4
5-speed manual AWD
I get 20 MPG or less and have to use premium.
2004 4dr Sedan turbocharged 227hp 2.0L H4
4-speed automatic AWD
Expect 20-24 mpg depending on how you drive. One does not buy an AWD turbo Subaru with fuel economy in mind. These cars were meant to be driven in a spirited manner. Keep in mind vehicle is required to be used with premium fuel.

Unless you are kind and watch the RPM/gear ratios, the Single Overhead cam engine is not miserly.

16/22 MPG City/Highway...ouch.
2004 4dr Wagon turbocharged 227hp 2.0L H4
5-speed manual AWD
If you hammer the throttle a lot, do not expect great mpg numbers. This is common sense really, not something I dislike, just something to note.
2003 4dr Wagon 165-horsepower 2.5L H4

We got 28 to 30 at best. I miss the AWD though.
