People looking to buy a car right now are, even more than usual, concerned with gas mileage of their potential next vehicle.
Due to the Russia/Ukraine conflict, countries all across the globe have imposed strict sanctions on regular oil-exporter Russia, which has spelled a global scramble for procuring oil from different sources.
Pain at the Pump
As a result of these sanction-decreed limitations, oil prices have been quite volatile. And, since oil refinement is a key process in getting fuel, gasoline prices have been similarly volatile. People all around the world are feeling pain around the pump, as their currency-per-gallon has risen.
So, it makes sense that prospective car owners are very concerned about the miles per gallon on the vehicles they are considering buying, as a vehicle with a high m.p.g can end up being a costly investment, even if the sticker price on the lot is lower than the other cars.
Here at Neil Huffman Subaru, we understand these concerns, and seek to find our customers not only the best deals for new and used cars, but to make sure they are making a good investment when it comes to important factors such as gas mileage.
Read on for our guide to the gas mileage of some of our popular 2022 Subaru vehicles.
2022 Subaru Forester
The Forester boasts many different models, but they tend to average 33 m.p.g on highways, and 26 in cities.
Since the Forester is often used for outdoors adventures, and off-roading, it can be expected that the m.p.g can vary depending on where exactly you are taking the vehicle, as different road conditions are known to impact gas mileage.
For example, the city and highway miles per gallon distinction exists because longer, open roads where you can drive faster tend to yield better gas mileage, while slower, stop-and-start driving uses more mileage.
2022 Subaru Legacy
The Legacy is a smaller vehicle than the Forester, and therefore uses less energy, so it can be expected that the gas mileage will be higher.
Subaru’s many 2022 Legacy models reach an average of 35 m.p.g on the highway and 27 in the city.
2022 Subaru Impreza
Now here’s a good deal: a roomy sedan for under $20,000 with very solid gas mileage, at 36 m.p.g on highways and 28 in cities.
For buyers looking for a solid compact car, look no further than the Impreza.
2022 Subaru Crosstrek
Looking for a compact SUV that won’t cause pain at the pump? You might find your match with the 2022 Crosstrek, which features a stellar 34 highway m.p.g. and a 27 city m.p.g.
2022 Subaru Ascent
If you are looking for an SUV that is bigger than the compact Crosstrek, then the Ascent will be the one to consider.
With 27 highway m.p.g. and 21 m.p.g., the size of this vehicle definitely weighs down on the gas mileage, but if you are looking for a larger vehicle, it could be a good compromise.
