Is there any info on the EPA milage for those engines? I'm wondering if the change in '97 to an interferance engine was worth it, and what could have induced the Subaru engineers to do it. . .

1996: Manual: 22 mpg / 29 mpg Automatic: 23 mpg / 32 mpg

 

1999: Manual: 22 mpg / 29 mpg Automatic: : 22 mpg / 29 mpg

 

(1997 wasn't listed on Edmunds.com...so I went with the 1999)

 

Those are for Legacy sedans.

AFAIK, there have been four different versions of the Legacy:

 

90-94

95-98

99-04

05-present

 

And each gets worse gas mileage than the one previous. :rolleyes:

 

According to the specs on Automotive.com, the EPA highway gas mileage is as follows:

95: 7.6 L/100km

96: 8.1

97: 7.8 (a 4% improvement)

98: 7.8

99: 8.1

This must be mistaken. I highly doubt the auto get better mileage than the manual.

I wish. My 92 legacy gets about 9 L/100 km on the highway at best. And it seems to be in fine running shape.

But the people driving those cars to do these tests drive like grandmas on their way to church, so it shouldn't be a problem. Odd though.

 

 

 

The Automatic will shift when you hit a certain RPM range and not let you steadly drive at 4500 RPMS.

 

 

It makes sence...I dunno. It might be a mistake.

The EPA tests in controlled conditions with the A/C off and the ambient air temperature between 68-86 degrees F. plus the car has no weight, and there is no elevation change in the test. If you just happen :rolleyes: to encounter any difference in your daily drive your mileage will be diffrent, usually worse.
