2 new subaru's - completely different...

Probably geared different

Isn't the Sedan a turbo?

Are these American spec vehicles with the 165HP engine. This is an international NG and there are variations worldwide so it pays to be specific and to identify the nation you are from.

As one post noted - they might be geared differently; and IIRC, this is true. The GT is geared more closely and shorter than the L and SE. (I wish my GT had a 6spd!, and a 3.0L, and a twin-turbo, - but that's another matter for a different thread!) But I agree, 450k vs 550k seems like a big difference for such similar cars. My GT wagon was terrible for the first yr+, but has improved slightly. My Mrs' SE gets better mpg but she is also not one to push the fun-pedal (testosterone-pedal, go-pedal..) as forcefully as I! Have you driven each one for two or three, or more tankfuls for the same weekly routine? I know I will get~23 in my usual routine, bit if I am out on highways for 1/2 tankful or more, I get ~26mpg (28.4best ever). IIRC, the wagon weighs a bit more, no? Same use of AC/Heater/Fan? Same point of purchase for fuel? Same tire inflation?

Since he is talking about km instead of miles I'm going to guess it isn't American spec although I could be wrong.
