1st time Subi owner

Post by mikephotog » Mon Feb 01, 2010 2:30 pm

Looking at my first Subi purchase (2006 SUBARU LIBERTY 4GEN MY07 3.0R AWD on carsales.com.au).
Just wondering what sort of fuel economy I should expect around town (wife going shopping etc) and once a month Melbourne to Ballarat run up the Western Hwy.

Cheers,
Mike.

First off, welcome to AUSubaru.com

Looking at redbook.com, the manual 3.0R has a combined fuel economy of about 10.9 L/100km

So expect maybe 8.5 - 9L /100km on the highway and as high as 12 in the city.

Have a test drive of one, you will be very impressed

2.5 is a flat 4, the 6 is a 3L.

What ever happened to Alpine Raven?
