I've got a 2006 Impreza 4 door and get 16MPG daily.  Oh did I mention it's a
Stage 2 STi.  J

 

Seriously though I really don't think Subarus get the best gas mileage but
they are pretty stout and reliable cars.

 

For the money how could you really go wrong with 24 MPG.  The money you
saved getting the car will help offset not get 26 to 28 mpg for quite a long
time.

Subject: NMC - OTM Subaru MPG question

 

hi all,

 

i found an AWD car that can do some towing, to replace my ranger.  a 1996
Subaru Impreza 5spd 2.2l

 

gasaroo showed paople getting high 20's for MPG, while others reported mid
20's, but my first check shows 24 MPG (not towing anything) 

 

I guess I was hoping for a little better since it';s a 5 speed and i dont
drive like a maniac.

 

any thoughts or experiences on a OTM that has AWD and can do light towing
(at least 1200lbs)?

 

if I didnt need AWD, I'd get a 94 - 97 Miata and put in big brakes and
obviously some kind of FM power mods and have a do-it-all car, but the end
of my street is a water access point and I like to put my small boat in
there every so often. and we get snow a few times each winter.

 

also, any general subaru experiences would be great.  so far, I notice the
car has a lot of torque at lower RPM,s from such a small displacement motor.
the impreza also tight and while not very sexy as a 4 door, has clean lines
and plenty of trunk space.  

 

it only cost $1600 with 125k on the clock

 

anyone with any subaru (or other AWD/4WD) whats your everyday MPG?
