I've purchased a Subaru Legacy Outback 1996, 2.5 litre with 190,000 km on it.?

I gave it for an engine tune up, and filled the tank with 91 Octane gas (recommended by the company) and it consumed 16 lit/100km.



Is that reasonable?

you are luck it even runs with that many kilometers on it

Great car. Never mind what the other guy said. I have an 05 legacy GT wagon and it turns in around 12L/100km. That's with a mixed city Hwy driving. If you have the tires inflated correctly you should be in the 11-12 or better. The Awd system adds friction and can cause higher fuel consumption than a 2wd car, but it should be better than that. Check the air filter and change the oil to synthetic. That should help. Other than that get a tune up with new plugs etc... That car motor should be good for another 100,000kms if you keep the oil clean. Enjoy the snow this winter.
