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. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review

Not a gas guzzler, but not a gas sipper either. Aggressive driving = poor fuel mileage see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review

Unless you are kind and watch the RPM/gear ratios, the Single Overhead cam engine is not miserly. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review

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. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review

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. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review
