i too get an average of 29-31 with my 94 legacy gt high roof straight shift.... over the winters its more like 25-26 mpg. of course i can see this happening because on average its 16 degrees night and day here in the aleganey mtns.

in maryland right where interstate 81 and 70 intersect about an hour west of washington dc... if someone wants the whole car i will only take the wheels for mine. and ill strip off the rusty exhaust.... ill put the old wheels from mine on her. and this seems cleche but this car was babied through its life... my mom always has subarus but its because she is a school administrator and needs to be on time every day up here in the mountains.. and i never borrowed it to go bombing on the trails lol... i have a subie of my own for that

thanks.. thats what i needed to know.. the outback is excelent actually... mom has driven it since new. sadly no garages want to tackle it here and they say it would be 3 grand if they would and add brakes and full exhaust (all flanges leak some) and its almost 5 grand to fix her. im a decent mechanic but im not so sure i want to tackle head gaskets on a machine that might just be cracked or warped and might pop again in 20 k miles... but yes. i am taking the wheels off the obw because mine leak. i've had them ground and re sealed over and over with no luck. and the obw has 15s as apposed to my 14s. and much better looking to boot. i do not have a spring compressor so some drilling will be in order. id like to do a 2.2 swap.. but mom needs a car right away and i cant do that real soon so she is buying a new one and i have this one just to sit around... might even put it on ebay after i kife the stuff i can use. its a shame but its just cheaper to buy another than fix this one. as i said.. if anyone else wants to tackle her i can sell her cheap

i have a 94 with floppy shocks and my mom just blew the heads on her 98 obw ( 150k miles duh....) and gave her to me. is this a swap i can do in the yard in a day? doing them one at a time? or is it a hefty task.. i have hand tools and a gravel yard... and sadly ill need to put my old ones back on the obw so it can roll onto a trailer... also are there any other parts i can steal to upgrade my 94 (high roof gt with 90k miles at that!!) and then finally im parting the 98 out so does anyone need any parts for cheap?
