Welcome. Enjoy the site. Couple of guy's here from the Sunny Coast.

Hi, I bought a new MY06 2.0R Wagon earlier this year.  It was an easy choice based on the fact that we were trading our much loved 1990 Liberty Wagon.

All was going well until my 5000km service.  Post this service the fuel consumption has dramatically increased, from 9L per 100km to in excess of 11L per 100kms.

The Subaru dealership where I bought the car are giving me the extreme run around, fundamentally claiming that I am wrong, countering my claim with objections such as,

1. I am not using the right premium fuel
2. That I am not running the correct tyre pressure
3. The trip computer is faulty
4. I am driving the car too hard
5. I am not recording the mileage and fuel correctly

I feel I am now in a fight to prove the credibility of my claim against Subaru and institute a warranty issue.

Any advice to assist this sorry situation would be appreciated.

P.s The trip computer displays instantaneous consumption,
[LIST]
* Under light acceleration the consumption is reported as 50L/100km.
* At 60kmph on a flat road, consumption varies from 6L/100km to as much as 15L/100km.
* There is no typical evidence of a rich fuel mixture, i.e blackened rear bumber etc.[/LIST]
