2006 Subaru Outback Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 27 to 30 on high way see full Subaru Outback review
2006 Subaru Outback Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2007 4dr Wagon 245-horsepower 3.0L H6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Six cylinders matched to full-time AWD makes for a thristy ride. Ability to shut off AWD in certain aspects would be beneficial in some circumstances. The turbocharger requires extra maintenance and premium gas. The I4 is the way to go. see full Subaru Outback review
2007 4dr Wagon 175-horsepower 2.5L H4
4-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 All wheel drive is nice on certain occasions, but I've been disappointed in the fuel economy of this car. see full Subaru Outback review
2005 4dr Wagon turbocharged 250hp 2.5L H4
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 With gas at almost $4/gal, and driving lots of miles, long distance, I would love to get better than 26 MPG on the highway. I am going to slow down though, and I still do love the turbo. see full Subaru Outback review
