I had just over 400 miles and a little less than 1\/4 of the tank left. My digital gage readout estimated there was 110 miles left. I was under the impression that I was getting pretty good mileage&#8230;again looking at the digital gage estimating the current mileage while driving around town.<\/p>\n<p>I drove into Costco and filled up the tank. I was getting concerned when the fuel pump wasn&#8217;t shutting off very quickly. Actually nothing to worry about because it wasn&#8217;t quite at 10 gallons. I&#8217;m not used to 87 octane (the Mazda took only 93 octane and it must have pumped a lot faster) pumping so slow. Perhaps it was because the pressure was a little low&#8230;the station was packed! I ended up pumping a little over 13 gallons into the tank. Man! It felt great when I calculated my gas mileage to be a little over 29 mpg.<\/p>\n<p>New cars usually get really bad gas mileage at first. This was the &#8220;rule&#8221; but the past few new cars I owned never really improved significantly. I&#8217;ll be adding synthetic oil when I reach the 4000 mile mark. Eventually I&#8217;ll change the differential oil to synthetic too&#8230;but that will be down the road&#8230;a long ways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, I had my first fill up today and was curious to see how well the 2011 Subaru Outback did.
