Newbie curious questions

OK - I need your help! I like the look of the Crosstrek but also looking at the Outback. Wildness Trim on both. Seeing the Outback has more HP and the Crosstreck is 2.5-liter DOHC engine Power: 180 hp @ 5,800 rpm vs 260 hp

You guys feel the Crosstrek is peppy enough?

What are you averaging MPG on the Wilderness?

Thanks!!
