I have a 2018 Forester. My ScanGauge II shows zero L/100K when coasting with a warm engine. The LOD shows 75-80 percent when accelerating at 20 percent throttle, and I can drive all day without going over 1,500 RPM. Most city driving at 40-60 KPH has the engine at 1,000-1,200 RPM. On the highway, 100 KPH is still just 1,200 RPM.
