Going to Michigan in May - Subaru Outback

1-3-2-4 · 04-18-2011, 10:07 PM

Taking a 97 outback but I wonder about how many times would I need to fill up? it's about 648 miles where I'm going one way.. I was guessing around maybe 3 1/2 times?

I'm not sure how much you can get from the tank with the 2.5 motor

If you are going to U.P., I will filled up as often as possible....

Depending on where you set your cruise control you should be getting 26-28 MPG. Could make just shy of 400 miles per tank in the old 1996 with cruise set at 60-65.

I'd have to slow my speed down kinda hard to do in he Ny area but when I hit PA I can do that.. Most of the time I tend to drive around 70ish.

And I'm not going to the U.P area as far as I know for now.

If you're coming up from Ohio, it's usually cheaper to buy gas in Toledo before crossing into Michigan. I'll have to check on Easter.

stop by Tony Packo in Toledo for some hot dogs if you're(were) a M.A.S.H fan.

gas is $4.29 in Michigan right now. It was noticeably cheaper in Ohio, try to top it off there before you get to the Mitten. What are you doing in Michigan?

Update the best I got was around 280 from the tank my avg was 26 MPG however my car has no 5th at the moment so I did pretty much the whole drive at 60 mph.
