May 18, 200817 yr I am looking to get a Impreza mid 90's with a 2.2 in it and a manual 5speed awd. What can I expect for gas mileage around town and on the hwy? Thanks for the info to come. Ken
May 18, 200817 yr my 98 2.2 AWD L sedan got 31 highway going from portland to reno and back. often reaching 90 MPH too Didnt have it long enough to get around town MPG
May 18, 200817 yr around mid 20s/high 20s if everything is running properly. it's AWD so it won't "coast" with the same efficiency of the lighter FWDs. I love my 98 obs in the winter but during the summer I'm keeping it between 2k-2500 rpm and averaging 33-35 on the hwy. lots of weight reduction also involved. good luck
May 18, 200817 yr My brother gets about 26-29 MPG in his '99 Outback Sport 5-spd. My dad gets 24-26 in his '97 sedan with an automatic. Brian M.
May 19, 200817 yr If it's running well it should get over 30 on the highway. I can get low 30's with my wrx if I stay out of boost on a long trip. Around town it's not so good.
May 20, 200817 yr Author Thanks for all the info guys, now I just have to find a good used one at a decent price. Thanks Ken

May 22, 200817 yr My friend had a '96 Legacy L that was good for 35 hwy MPGs. I think with a nice new air filter, maybe even a K & N air filter, and you could easily get 35 MPG on the highway.
