Is it safe to take a new Outback 700 miles on the freeway at speeds of 55-85 mph or should you rent a car?

"Break-in" on new cars isn't really as crucial as it once was due to improved manufacturing tolerances... but to be safe, new cars with low miles can be driven on the highway, but you should not use the cruise control, and vary the speed (RPM's). What you want to avoid is a "ridge" at the top of each piston's travel range. The theory is that changing the speed between say 50 and 75 MPH will keep the pistons from wearing in that ridge. I'd continue this practice for a few thousand miles when you're on the highway. In stop & go city driving, there is no problem.

Average fuel consumption per mile for a Ford F-150 pickup?
About 10-13 miles per gal if your speed is around 0 to 40 miles per hour. 10 -15 miles per gal if you have a combination of city and freeway speeds. 13-19 miles per gal if you do most freeway speeds. I know this because I own one. What a pain!

How many miles per gallon does a 2003 Subaru outback wagon get?
Specs says 18 miles per gallon in the city and 24 miles per gallon on the highway. My Subaru Outback 2003 VDC makes 18.5 miles per gallon in suburban driving, which involves some highway divining but much more 'city' type driving with many stops and much lower speeds (meaning less then optimal speed for fuel efficiency).

What is the normal rpm while driving on a freeway at 70 miles per hour?
Impossible to answer ! Different engines run at different speeds. It would depend on things like the gear ratio, cylinder timing, engine torque, road conditions etc.
How long should a head gasket of a 2007 subaru outback with 130000 miles last?
There is no way of saying for sure. As long as the engine never overheats and you change the coolant every 50,000 miles it should last the life of the engine.
