nipper Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Is this an automatic or manual. EPA city ratings is more reflective of suburbia driving as opposed to city. Also the winter blends of gas are out now, so everyones mileage drops. IS this just one tank or over three tanks, as the latter is the proper way to calculate it. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manarius Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 it has a auto trans and tank after tank no matter how slow i drive it it only get 23/24 if i am lucky and that combined city and highway 23/24 is pretty good for a car with AWD in the winter and autotragic transmission.

idosubaru Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 might want to try one higher grade in gas to keep that pinging down...but i'm not a "pinging" expert either. how old is the air filter? are you letting it "warm up"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reveeen Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 i have a 93 impreza and i beleave it gets poor gas only 24 combined city and highway 1991 Legacy "sport sedan" here, 2.2T, Vegomatic, AWD, limited slip X2. High of 32mpg, low of 8mpg, depends on how it is driven. At the moment, winter, around town, lucky to see around 18mpg. 1992 Loyale 1.8, 4WD, 5 speed, highway: 43mpg. Imperial measure!

Voluptuary5 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 1995 Subaru Legacy Sedan "L". Midnight blue, stock rims, aftermarket tires, moonroof, CD Changer, A/C purposely disabled, 4-door, and full-time FWD (not by choice). Total average this past calendar year = 25.89 MPG High = 29.06 MPG (middle of August) Low = 18.66 (middle of January) I was actually worried about my fuel mileage as well but it looks like I'm on par with others. -V5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
