More data would help poeple give a better answer. For starters - What
country? Short/long/ city/country driving? Auto/manual? Granny driver or
leadfoot? How many people? Trailer etc? For what it's worth, my 99 Outback
Ltd 2.5 auto gives 11-12.5L/100km and that's about 1L/100km high across the
board unless you normally drive with a full car &/or your right foot hard
down everywhere. IME, OB sport & Impreza are typically around 10% better
again. Cheers

It's in Ontario, Canada with auto. My wife drive it everyday to pick up kids
at school, it about 5km round trip and I drive it to ball games around 12 km
round trip on Mon, Tue, Thue and Friday. Other than that it's just weekend
driving to pick up groceries. No more than 30 km.

Short trips on a cold engine will hammer mileage but that's still a lot.
Is it going to be dealer serviced? Could see if there are any strange
codes showing, else possibly worth trying the Subaru upper cylinder
service. Has made 10% difference across two sercive intervals on some of
mine at times in the past. Otherwise, sounds like move further away from
the school or make the kids walk. Tough in winter though! Cheers

What is upper cylinder service? I've never heard of this one. Is ti
something you can do yourself? --
