So what kind of gas mileage have you guys been able to squeeze out of an EA82? I just managed 33MPG on the highway in an 88 XT4 2WD 5 speed with spider intake.

GL-10 in sig gets 28~29.

I've gotten 29 mpg on a road trip one time last year.. Fairbanks to Valdez in the middle of winter lst year

 

Hasnt happened since..

I'm gettin about 20 - 22 right now

 

That was with everything stock on the car... except for the custom exhaust leak.. lol

i avg. aboput 30 mpg on my way out west

When I drove Snowstormers wagon out to Montana, I got 420 miles on a tank driving through Western Montana and it was not empty when I filled up. I figured 35mpg easy, maybe more. That's by far the best mileage I've ever got from a Soob.

right now 22-24 mixed driving, but its winter now and all the stations have the seasonal ethanol mix which lowers the mpg. we'll see once spring comes....

86' turbo gl-10 2wd 5-speed wagon, 34 mpg consistently, and thats with 290k original..

on my 86 a/t spfi fwd sedan 75,000 mi 23 city - 28-29 highway , my 88 full time 4wd a/t wagon so far - 21 city .not sure what highway would get . :wave:

i got 30-31 hwy with my old 2wd spfi high compression wagon. i thought that was as good as it gets.

Right now I'm getting about 23.5mpg average on my '86 RX Turbo, but I can't keep my foot out of the boost...lol. In comparison, I average about 22.5mpg out of the '99 2.5RS.

My parents claim that when their 87 carbed 4wd wagon was new, they got 40-45 mpg cruising the highways in Oregon.

 

One time when the little orange light came on while I was still 50 miles out from any civilization, I managed over 50 mpg. More downhill than up, but no coasting.

92 Loyale, auto, 95K miles on 2nd engine

 

29 mpg consistently

 

old O2 sensor, wonder if I replace it, it will do better.

With the same car as yours, only with a 4EAT (cuts the revs down) we averaged 36mpg between Paul's place in Milford and the CT/MA line. It's almost 70 miles, just for the heck of it we filled up at the Mobilgas station on I-95 and again at the Citgo about a mile from home...took something like 1.8 gallons. (The Forester took 3.1. Yuck!) And that was with a rotted muffler and a driver w/ a lead foot (NOT me, I was driving my Forester).
