That's my concern with the subarus... Most of the customer reviews online are saying ****ty on fuel economy.
But Subaru and GM always say their own version of what you will get, which is never seems to be on par with reality.
The Crosstrek is a 2.0L 4 cyl and the website claims 8.2 city, 6.0 highway.
The Trax is a 1.4L 4cyl and the website claims 7.8 city, 5.7 highway.
I Haven't test driven the crosstrek yet, but I did try out the 2013 forrester, and the on demand fuel consumption was less then flattering driving around Nanaimo.
The trax wasn't as spectacular as it claims the vehicle will get, getting closer to 12 on my shorter drive on our highway (120km/hr) but had it down to 5 on 1 stretch after a few resets.
Its seriously frustrating... mind you anything better then my truck getting 17.5 between the city and our 120km/hr highway, 21+ in greater vancouver, but I can get it down to 13.3ish or so on highways that average 80km/hr.
