What the Subaru XT sticker says about fuel
Fuel economy is a legally required block on every Monroney label — city, highway and combined figures plus the estimated annual fuel bill. These are the EPA numbers on file for the XT, latest tested year 1991:
The label also prints an estimated $2,725 a year in fuel at 15,000 miles, and 403 g/mi of CO₂. EPA files the XT under Two Seaters, which is the class it gets compared against on the sticker.
How the XT's sticker figure changed
Combined MPG printed on the label, model year by model year — 1985 to 1991. Worth checking before you compare a XT sticker from one year with another:
The figure actually fell by 2 mpg across the span — usually a sign of added weight or power. EPA revised its testing method in 2008, which shifts figures printed before and after that year.

Where to find the VIN on a Subaru XT
- WindshieldLower-left corner, driver's side, readable from outside without opening anything.
- Door jambOn the driver's door frame of every XT, next to the tyre-pressure and build-date plate.
- DocumentsRegistration, title and insurance card — on a Subaru XT all three must show the same number.
All four must match. A Subaru XT whose windshield plate disagrees with the door jamb has either had a panel replaced or a tampered identity — check the paperwork before any money changes hands.
