Headso Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Hey gents, I've just purchased a 2006 LGT and after about a week of driving, testing and enjoying I was curious about how much gas I've been going through. Can my fellow LGT owners post their average kms/miles per full tank they're achieving? If you have an idea of highway vs city or combined that would also be welcome. Thanks all, Headso Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charbo Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I usually get around 16mpg or so just driving to work and back, but I have a big hill I have to go up each day. When I'm driving on the freeway with some city driving I average 22-24mpg depending on how much traffic there is and how much city driving I do. I get between 250-300 miles to a tank, could probably get more but I don't like to let it get too low, especially being a turbo ed car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike07LGT Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I average 26mpg all highway, and 21-23mpg city. Get 315-375 out of a tank usually 03 WRB WRX (RIP) 04 JBP STI (sold) 07 DGM Legacy GT (RIP) 12 OBP STI (DD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covertrussian Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I get 16-18mpg City when it's cold out and 18-20mpg City when it's warm even with AC. Highway will range from 26 to 31mpg depending on temperature and road conditions. That's with a fairly simple Stage 2 setup and my own custom tune. 05 LGT 16G 14psi 290whp/30mpg (SOLD) 12 OBP Stock 130whp/27mpg@87 Oct 00 G20t GT28r 10psi 250whp/36mpg 22 Ascent STOCK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldsoda Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I'm averaging 22.7 mpg on mine. only mod is a catted downpipe and a tune on 91 octane here in AZ. 80%+ freeway driving. Looking at fuelly and adding some filters, I'm seeing an average of ~22-23 mpg for the 2.5GT engine years 2005-2009. Fuelly is a great site for seeing real user-input MPG. I use it for all my vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesleyCrowbar Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 19.5mpg 50/50 consistently for nearly 2 years, even after going with a stage 2 canned tune. I wish my highway mileage was as good as covertrussian's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirschman Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Usually 22-27 mpg highway and 16-18 around town. BNR16g on stock fueling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phate Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 23-27 on the highway depending on how I drive/use the aircon/etc. 17ish around town if I don't drive like a 17 year old (or like a 25 year old with his first turbo car). Standard stage 2 5MT car on the cobb OTS (pig rich) tune. The first "winter" I had the car my commute to work was 2-3 miles on city streets. The car was only up to temp for the last 3/4 mile of my drive. I averaged 15-16mpg overall then, lol. I expect it to get much better after I replace the turbo inlet and get a protune.

Headso Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 Thanks so much everyone! It's apparent I bought a nice car with a very supportive community behind it! If I can edit my original ask a bit.... What is everyone's "range"? 250 miles? 300miles? (400kms? 500kms?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacemanspif Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Mrs. Spif gets 20-22mpg with a 30 mile one way work commute. She doesn't run deep into E because around her work there aren't convenient gas stations. Usually fills betwee 275 and 300 miles on the tank.

JF1GG29 Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I do 15mpg to 18mpg in the city. Up to 25 mpg on the interstates. A tank will get me about 175 miles in the city and up to 300 on the interstate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Capacity Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 In the 12 + years of ownership this wagon has pretty much gotten the same 22-24mpg that my 98' GT wagon got and the 00'GT wagon got. Highway will get 26mpg for awhile. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

birkhoff Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Been meaning to ask this for a while, but is the real-time mpg readout on these cars accurate? Has anyone checked? I struggle to get mine to read 18mpg in the city. That had me concerned 'cause I see lots of reports of mid-high 20's mpg on the forum. Thanks to these posts I see that 17-18 is not unusual for city stop and go (pretty heavy car after all) and we don't do enough highway driving to change that much. I could check the calibration on the dashboard readout myself, but I'm not the only driver of the car, and a tank lasts about 2-3 weeks for us.

coldsoda Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 the digital readouts are never 100% accurate. Even less so with any modifications. I've had tanks where the digital readout is close to actual MPG, but its never been exactly right. For me its +/-4 mpg of true MPG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob H Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Over the last 22,000 km, I have averaged 10.4 litres per 100 km (27.1 mpg) - mainly on a freeway commute. Best tank is 8.1 l/100km (34.9 mpg) on an interstate trip (heavy on the cruise control), worst 14.2 l/100km (19.9 mpg) with numerous short suburban trips. The digital read out says 10.8 l/100km.

Merc6 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 My car reads 19.8 since I've owned it. The B trip reads 18.9. Do you reset it? For me 1 trip is OC and the other trip is this tank of gas I'm on. For my DD and OnStar, only one of the trips show up so I pick the current tank to see MPG changes. 2005 Satin White Pearl Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT Unlimited 5EAT (Project Car) 2019 Agate Black Ford Explorer XLT 4WD (DD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
