Our Experience...An Unsatisfactory Car 2016 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member365 The fuel economy of the 2016 Subaru Outback is disappointing. Again, I owned and drove a 2013 Honda CR-V and it offered better performance and acceleration, and far better fuel economy than this car. This, despite the fact that the Subaru Outback and Honda CR-V show fuel economy ratings that... Comparison vehicle: 2016 Subaru Outback |

2000 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons A member in British Columbia, Canada Fuel economy is as expected, not great. It's a heavy car with an old engine and AWD. Short trips in the city, and it's fairly horrible. On the highway, it's particularly sensitive to speed, as the car is not very aerodynamic. I got as bad as 16 l/100 Km in... Comparison vehicle: 2003 Toyota Camry |

2015 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member6286 Consistently pretty good mileage. I generally get 30mpg mixed city and highway (more highway though) |

2015 Subaru Outback Review Official TrueDelta review by Michael Karesh Subaru has also made impressive strides recently in improving fuel economy. Through 2009 the EPA rated the Outback for 20 mpg city, 26 mpg highway. Though the Outback grew substantially for 2010, it also gained a continuously variable transmission (CVT), and this boosted the ratings to 22/29. A new engine...

A good choice. 2012 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member5797 I have a lead foot. I guess for the power it has 20 mpg avg isn't bad, but not great. |

Great car with limited competition 2012 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member5316 Fuel economy is great, on the highway at 70mph I get in the summer around 30-33mpg, winter it drops to around 27 ( board computer after refill with a warm engine). Combined 10% city, 20% suburb and 70% highway it's a 25-28mpg with relaxed driving. Fully loaded doesn't seem do... |

'07 Subaru Outback 2007 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member5658 All wheel drive is nice on certain occasions, but I've been disappointed in the fuel economy of this car. |
|
2011 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member1986 The 2013 is supposed to get a few more MPG's in the city and highway. Not really a big deal, but every bit helps. For a large vehicle with AWD, the Outback is unbeatable in MPG. |

2010 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member4941 31 mpg on twisty 2 lane roads going through Oregon coast and Cascades. Not bad for an AWD loaded with gear and people. |
|
2011 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member5101 Uses Regular Gas and Gets around 19 MPG in City |
|
2011 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member5031 Compared to the full size p/u I was driving it is fantastic. Getting just over 21 in mostly stop and go suburban driving. Figure it will get better with age. Only had a couple tanks of gas so far. Only one measured. |

2011 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member3843 Getting > than sticker MPG right out of the dealers lot. The CVT really rewards soft steady gas peddle. |
|
2011 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons A member in California, United States So far getting 25MPG in mixed driving which is great for an AWD vehicle in our hilly areas here. |
|
2010 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons dpb Gets decent (18-28mpg) gas mileage for an suv that hauls groceries and kids and is a daily driver, snow, sleet or rain, every day. |

2011 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member2140 I would like to see mpg much higher than 22/29. |
|
2010 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member3773 For a heavy-ish car with a 3.6l six, I have been getting remarkable mileage. 24-26 overall in mixed driving. |
|
2010 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member4275 I like that my 2.5l CVT can be run with regular gas or higher octane premium fules. This gives me a wide range of choices when fuleing. Being my commute to work is 35 miles I love the highway mpg I can attain while still having all wheel drive. |
|
2010 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member4170 28MPG on an all wheel drive vehicle with 8" of ground clearance is tough to beat. Especially since I'm averaging 32 on the highway! |
|
2007 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member4135 27 to 30 on high way |
|
2010 Subaru Outback Pros and Cons Member3860 Right now I am getting about 27mpg, which is just about the same as my VW 1.8t engine was getting when I traded it in. |
