Have no idea what I get in the legacy, have not checked in years. The on board mpg computer has been out of spec since I upgraded injectors. I have not looked at the price of gas in three plus years. I have to run 93 in both the legacy and Boxster. Prefer shell, but will run exxon or chevron 93 if on the road. Just decided not to worry about it at some point.

It was for incorrect oil viscosity if you can believe that.
And I lost mileage as well. It's odd to be honest,that right after I change the oil I get an oil too thick cel and lost mpg.
I find it hard to believe that the oil in the jugs weren't labelled properly however after what Mobil did after Katrina I certainly wouldn't rule out that possibility.
The only other possibility is that the oil that was already in the car at purchase time thinner than the M1 I'm using now.
Dunno.
I averaged 28Mpg in the M5 on 100% highway with M1 0w-40 in the sump

Filled two cars yesterday;
BMW went 480 miles on 13.8 gallons or 34.8 mpg
'12 Accord went 489 miles on 18.8 gallons or 26 mpg
Paid $3.25/gal
Wife is using the Accord over the summer and most of her commute is in traffic, so fuel economy is not as good as what I saw when I was using the car. It's still probably 15% better than the Forester, though.
The Accord has taken as much as 19.2 gallons, shortly after the low fuel came on. This is out of a rated tank capacity of 18.5.

My 2014 Mustang says it is getting 16.1mpg per the on-board computer. My Gas Cubby app says I am getting 16.3 which is actually higher than the average. She has about 921 miles on her.
That being said, the loud pedal is intoxicating.

Last few tanks in the Focus have been 34.5 MPG or so. Not too bad considering it's getting colder out.
The Grand Am went 376.7 miles on 12.5 gallons. 30.1 MPG. Not bad for a little anemic 3400
I just returned from a 1000 mile trip around the eastern Oregon desert and got 30mpg for the entire trip. That includes driving up to the 8000' road around crater lake from sea level
Lots of 55mph two lane roads through some pretty sparse country
My commute is 20 miles round trip of generally stop and go hilly streets. I usually get 25mpg for that drive
Anybody have any instrumentation to display your fuel economy?
I've got a simple vacuum gauge and by keeping the load on the engine reasonably light I've upped my fuel economy by about 3mpg since installing it

Apparently I am on the higher end of the average of other 5.0 owners that have the 3.73 gears.
2003 2500 Suburban 4x4 8.1L
99% highway miles on the last full tank. Empty with just the driver (me).
418.3 miles / 33.325 gallons = 12.55 mpg

First fillup in the '11 Buick Regal non-turbo: 22.96 mpg over the last 13 days, 70% city driving, about 65 mph on the interstate, on non-ethanol regular, tires at 34 lbs. A little lower than I'd hoped, though not out of line with what other Regal drivers report. The Average Fuel Economy readout was around 23.4-23.6 for the last few days as it established its baseline, so it's not far off, unlike the 10% too high figure the Park Avenue always gave. The weather has been chilly and damp here too (though nothing like what many Midwesterners and Northeasterners have been going through).
This time I zeroed out not only the Trip 1 odometer, but the AFE readout and the average vehicle speed. It'll be interesting to see what they report in two weeks or so.

20-21mpg for 70%city /30highway, 1996 Tacoma V6 4x4, 240k miles on truck.
I put Mohawk 94 octane and cranked up the timing a bit. I got 23mpg on ethanol polluted fuel.
Went back to shell 91 octane and got 28mpg on the drive home,no wind to speak of. I love mds. Once we get back to summer fuel I expect over 30mpg again.
I didn't use any mos2 in this oil fill. It was ultra 5w-20. I wanted to see what if anything changes without mos2 in the oil considering I've already used cera-tec and mos2 in the last oil fill.
I've lost a couple mpg however its tough to get any real accurate numbers because on those -30 morning I'm letting it warm up for 20 mins.
Regardless I'm not complaining. I'm getting better mileage than the chargers with 6ers are getting and I'm having way more fun doing it too.
I've got a diablosport intune tuner. Great little device. Definitely more responsive and now I can see what the car can really do with no speed limiter.

My last 3 tanks in the G35 have been between 17 and 18 mpg. Mixed driving.
The last three in the FX45 were all 16.7 - slower mixed driving.
The 528i is currently is at 25.5 for the last 10k miles, also mixed driving.
