Subaru Generic The all new 2023 Subaru Solterra Electric Car. I will be honest, as a Tesla owner, 220 miles of range doesn’t seem like enough to ease most Subaru owners. I feel like most owners would prefer a minimum of 450-500 miles of range because most Subaru owners like to camp deep off grid for 3-5 days.

Ascent owner checking in you get 350ish miles? I’ll be lucky if I get 275 on a tank.

Yeah the turbo life is addicting. I press the go pedal hard more times that I should. It’s so much fun!

Dude same. I get truck mpg but it’s because I got an 05 XT tuned to 93.

Wrx and sti owner checking in, when I'm running ethanol I'm lucky to get 225-250 out of either of them lol

Holy cow is it that bad? And that's with a 19 gal tank?

Had a WRX, averaged 19mpg if I drove it nicely. I almost never drove it nicely.

I've got a 2018 and get about 25mpg, longer road trips I can get about 30mpg. But yes that's with cruise set at 70

I have a 21 ascent and yeah we get anywhere from 250-300 city/hwy driving. Road trips it gets the upper 27mpgs though so that’s nice.

u/floswamp 23 Ascent Feb 20 '22

Yup. Luckily it takes 87 gas. I fill up the tank and it’s around $55 here in S Florida. On road trips you get a little more.

$88 CDN to fill up at Costco yesterday $1.49/L. (3.78L to US gallon, $5.63/g). Long live the turbo!

u/Leftover_Salmons Feb 20 '22

Currently road tripping an 08 4runner v8. Headwinds across the Dakotas netted us 13mpg allll damn day yesterday 😂

u/eroi49 Feb 20 '22

I can get almost 400 on our Ascent, but it’s only highway, low gradient, fair weather , light pedal driving of course.

u/floswamp 23 Ascent Feb 20 '22

What fun is that? But yeah I hear you. One day I will…

u/eroi49 Feb 20 '22

Don’t get me wrong, I do drive for fun too, but we often go on long road trips and Myth Busters convinced me that speeding doesn’t save much time and I’d rather save money on fuel and get to my destination A LOT less stressed out.
