So my parents found an awesome deal on an LL Bean Edition Outback ($2850 for 188K miles and great condition) about a month ago, and got me it for Christmas. My dad drove it to work for about a week or two to make sure everything was alright before he gave it to me, and he was getting about 22-23 MPG with it.
Now fast forward to today, and I've been getting between 15-18 MPG. I can't figure out what it is. It wasn't too cold when my dad was driving, and now it gets really cold when I drive it in the morning, so I get that that would affect the mileage, but I don't think it would affect it that much. I don't warm up the car before I drive, and I do basically the same types of drives as my dad was doing when he tested it.
So any idea why I'm getting so much less than what I should be getting?
