I'm not 100% sure about the 96 Impreza, but the later model Impreza WRX  
5-spd can easily be made into RWD by simply removing the front half-shafts.  
That 
might same some MPGs. Well, at least the car would be lighter.

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?
