Yea one more thread out of millions. Just so amazing yow much better gas mileage you can get using a light pedal and not having so sit in traffic (duh)
Comparing my '19 Crosstrek 2.0 to my '18 Froester 2.0. ..Starting with engine cold on a 70 degree day on a 4 mile course I can get 40mph on the Trek and 30 on the XT. Obviously this is very very careful driving. Country road and 2 stops. If there were a vehicle in back of my he would be [censored] but I did the 35 to 45 mph speed limit.
Just driving normally will yield 21 on the XT and 28 on the Trek. So we are looking at 30% savings on the XT 30% saving on the Trek (no I did not fudge the numbers. I considered changing one to make it look better..lol) with very very careful driving. Its certainly reasonable that one could get close to 20% savings with just prudent driving.
Obviously under many conditions this option is not possible. And note that the "very very careful" driving situation involved taking the engine temperature from 70 to about 175F.
Nationally it would appear that the U.S. could save 10% of the 385 million gallons per day or 35 million gallons or 100 million dollars. Probably close to a buck a day per "average" driver
Thanks on this board to all who serve(d)
