bakerman1 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I am looking to get a Impreza mid 90's with a 2.2 in it and a manual 5speed awd. What can I expect for gas mileage around town and on the hwy? Thanks for the info to come. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 my 98 2.2 AWD L sedan got 31 highway going from portland to reno and back. often reaching 90 MPH too Didnt have it long enough to get around town MPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98obster Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 around mid 20s/high 20s if everything is running properly. it's AWD so it won't "coast" with the same efficiency of the lighter FWDs. I love my 98 obs in the winter but during the summer I'm keeping it between 2k-2500 rpm and averaging 33-35 on the hwy. lots of weight reduction also involved. good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmm001 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 My brother gets about 26-29 MPG in his '99 Outback Sport 5-spd. My dad gets 24-26 in his '97 sedan with an automatic. Brian M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaru360 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 If it's running well it should get over 30 on the highway. I can get low 30's with my wrx if I stay out of boost on a long trip. Around town it's not so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around town it's not so good. I see the same in my 04 WRX, that is staying out of the boost, which is so very hard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegacy96 Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 My friend had a '96 Legacy L that was good for 35 hwy MPGs. I think with a nice new air filter, maybe even a K & N air filter, and you could easily get 35 MPG on the highway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
