That’s great for an SUV. If you don’t mind sharing, what’s the make and model? Thanks.

I noticed the guy didn’t respond about the SUV with 25/33 mpg. My V-6 Camry gets 24-25 around town (35-45 with stop and go) and I have hit 34 on the road but 30-32 is more usual. Rated at 22/28 and 24 mixed. My wife’s RAV4 gets 20-22 around town and 27-28 on the road with the same engine. I’ve seen some newer cars advertised at higher mpgs, but some need to be taken with a grain of salt - many under powered to attain it or need specific conditions. Most 4 cylinders have good power and mileage these days.

2015 Subaru Outback. We had a 2013 Subaru Legacy, which is the same chassis, only a AWD sedan, the outback is essentially a station wagon with a little more ground clearance. The Legacy actual highway avg’d about 31 in the summer.

We just got the Outback, outside temps are 0 - 30, we let it warm up, and it’s getting 26. When broken in this summer I see no reason why it will not get the 34 sticker hiway MPG.

It’s a very nice vehicle & has a very advanced AWD system.
