What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Subaru Legacy

Subaru Legacy Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2013	4dr Sedan 256-horsepower 3.6L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The downside of the H6 is not great gas mileage, but for what you are getting, it is not bad. On the highway with cruise control have managed to get about 30 mpg. In a mix of city and highway it gets 23 mpg. In city only it gets 18 mpg. Again, for AWD not bad, but not great. Want better gas mileage, get the H4 engine. see full Subaru Legacy review
2010	4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed shiftable CVT AWD	With the CVT transmission, rpms stay low and there is no shifting saving on fuel. see full Subaru Legacy review

2010	4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD	I average 43mpg in a little over half highway driving. I get 55mpg on the highway and about 35mpg in city driving. This is very impressive considering this car's performance. see full Subaru Legacy review

Subaru Legacy Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
2010	4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 6-speed manual AWD	A bit thirstier than I had hoped - but the AWD probably has a lot to do with that. see full Subaru Legacy review
2009	4dr Sedan 170-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	The fuel economy with a 4 cylinder 170 hp engine is pretty disappointing at 22-23 mpg. The AWD system is responsible for some of the loss but I also drive an AWD Acura TL SH-AWD with a 6 cylinder 305 hp engine that is only marginally worse at 18-19 mpg. see full Subaru Legacy review
2008	4dr Sedan 245-horsepower 3.0L H6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD	I do not dislike the fuel econ, its AWD and I knew that going into the purchase, after you walk away from a totaled vehicle, safety becomes the prioroty over fuel econ. Have been able to get 32mpg out of both vehicles with smart driving see full Subaru Legacy review

2005	4dr Wagon turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4 5-speed manual AWD	poor gas mileage for its size. getting about 18 mpg average in mixed driving. the car also requires 91+ octane. see full Subaru Legacy review
2005	4dr Sedan 168-horsepower 2.5L H4 4-speed shiftable automatic AWD	AWD system is a plus, overall, but fuel economy suffers. see full Subaru Legacy review

2014	4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 381-horsepower 5.7L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	One of my biggest complaints on the Tundra is the poor mpg. The big three's mpg all surpass the Tundra's. I guess this the downfall for reliability and durability. In CA, no one manufactures a larger fuel tank to replace the tiny factory one that passes the rediculous SMOG rules. What does a fuel tank have to do with SMOG? see full Toyota Tundra review
2008	4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 381-horsepower 5.7L V8 6-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range	its really unbeleviable that i get the mileage i get with the towing capability and power this thing has i am really speechless i traded in a 2005 Nissan Frontier 4X4 double cab that only got 14-16 mpg and 8mpg when pulling 20 ft bass boat. see full Toyota Tundra review
