That driver would need a gas station after every 50km - if they were to drive an outback.
anyway, an outback is not a subaru car whose owners are interested in consumption figures, that interest belongs to the impreza people
A well serviced and maintained impreza gg3 AWD doing 9k/ltr town and 11k/ltr highway is indeed a real concern. No check engine lights, so I presume the engine is Ok. Parts from Ambani, synthetic oil etc.  So it consumes like an outback "The problem with the world is that the intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence." ― Charles Bukowski

Formally employed people often live their employers' dream & forget about their own.

I concur. Impreza's are too heavy for the engine. that's why they consume more than a legacy on average but 10.5-12 is good for an impreza

Did someone say they prefer an outback to a Prado? Nkt. Wah! Great men are not always wise, neither do the aged understand judgement...

Wah! nope. they didn't say that but kind of compared an outback to a prado implying that they are of similar standards ( they wonder why they would choose a prado over an outback  ). but these are subaru nuts we are talking about. they even claim that if you buy an outback you need to be the type with no cares for fuel - you might think they are talking of a 4 liter plus car. they live in their own world where they want to say about their cars what the owners of bmws, benzes etc say about their cars(and have to use toyotas to show how great subarus are). wonder what they would be saying if their first cars (nay, their current cars) were bmws, benzes or audis.
