" It's a great car other than it's not very fast and it gets really bad gas mileage."
My 2013 Outback Limited with rally package (wheel paddle shifters etc) gets 32 on the highway with my driving habits and almost 28 offroading. That's with larger tires and a disconnected swaybar for better articulation, everything else is stock. CVTs don't respond well to lead-footing.
- winrid 2y agoThe disconnected swaybar won't impact mileage FWIW
- lightedman 2y agoIt actually does when you're off-road. If you can keep all tires in contact with the ground you aren't wasting fuel spinning one that isn't in contact with the ground (I keep the traction control off when offroading to avoid the system engaging its brake-based power delivery since it isn't an actual 4x4.) The difference has been absolutely measurable, with a ~15% increase in fuel efficiency in very hilly or rutted terrain.
