godwhomismike Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 This morning, I went to Subaru at 8am so they can look at my alignment/suspension, which turned out to be fine. I got home about 10:30 and washed my car, then packed it up. At 12:30pm - I was on the road heading from Staten Island, NY to Danbury Ct. The trip was a total of 122 miles and I averaged 24.9 mpg. In about a half hour, I will be on the road again heading now up to Albany, NY. I'll report at the end what my overall mpg was for the whole trip. Nothing like a nice day to put a few hundred miles on the Legacy. I'll post again tonight in Albany. I am really loving this car. - Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godwhomismike Posted April 29, 2005 Author Share Posted April 29, 2005 Figured it would be good to post some good mileage, since everyone is posting "OMG!!! gas price are crazy!!!" Waiting for my brother to get his crap together. I want to get back on the road. - Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest *Jedimaster* Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I'll be in Lake George (well, not IN it) this June if anyone wants to meet up. Mike, I think the summer gas has an effect- mine has been much better lately as well- I'm also skip shifting and not rev matching downshifts as often.

Thrasher Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I commute about 40 miles, Northport to JFK. I occasionally get 28-30 miles to the gallon, but that's at about 2650-2800 rpm. My morning commute on the Northern State is typically at 75-80 mph, 3200-3500 rpm. At that pace, the mileage is about 23.5-24.5. The car is so sweet at 80. Can't resist stepping on the gas just to feel that torque, only because I can. BTW- In 5 or so years, I have never seen the state troupers pull over a speeder on the Long Island Parkways (North or South) between 4 and 5:30am. Nice courtesy on their part to let us hustle off to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melayout Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Going to VA from NC on I85, then I95, for a total of 300 miles, I achieved 27mpg on the car's gas mileage readout, so lets say 26mpg and that's all will a light foot and cruise control. Going back to NC from VA on I95, then I85, I achieved 12mpg on the car's gas mileage readout. Also maxing out the speed limiter didn't help.

godwhomismike Posted April 30, 2005 Author Share Posted April 30, 2005 Ok, now in Albany. The total miles for the whole trip was 264 miles and I averaged 26.1 mpg. Pretty sweet gas mileage. That's my best gas mileage to date. - Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KTM 525 Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 I did a 220 mile round trip run to NJ a while back and according to the dash computer I averaged 30.3 MPG. I realize the dash is a bit optomistic though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife is from there and we'll be there next weekend visiting family- I'll treat you to dinner. Thanks for the offer, but I don't come here often - I'm visiting my brother who is graduating in a few weeks. Basically my two brothers and me are having a weekend of partying up here. Lots of fun. Thanks for the offer. - Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I'll be on later. This should be good news for anyone shopping for an LGT and wondering how the gas mileage is on it. The trip from Albany to Danbury Ct. to Staten Island New York was 251.8 miles. I averaged 26.7 mpg for the entire trip. Very good mileage. Not too shabby for the automatic. The car now has 4577 miles on the odometer. As long as you keep the car out of the boost - the gas mileage is great. For only city driving with lots of boost - I get about 17 mpg. Highway driving with little boost and crusing between 68-73 mph you get about 26.7 mpg. - Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godwhomismike Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 Doing a little Wardriving Mike? Not this time :lol: Most of the trip was driving in NYS and I don't feel like getting any points on my license. There was a lot of state troopers on the road and they also radar from helicopters too. I decided to keep the car at a nice speed with the cruise control engaged and cruise without having to worry about being radared and pulled over.
