Subject: NMC - OTM Subaru MPG question
hi all,
i found an AWD car that can do some towing, to replace my ranger. a 1996 Subaru Impreza 5spd 2.2l
gasaroo showed paople getting high 20's for MPG, while others reported mid 20's, but my first check shows 24 MPG (not towing anything)
I guess I was hoping for a little better since it';s a 5 speed and i dont drive like a maniac.
any thoughts or experiences on a OTM that has AWD and can do light towing (at least 1200lbs)?
if I didnt need AWD, I'd get a 94 - 97 Miata and put in big brakes and obviously some kind of FM power mods and have a do-it-all car, but the end of my street is a water access point and I like to put my small boat in there every so often. and we get snow a few times each winter.
also, any general subaru experiences would be great. so far, I notice the car has a lot of torque at lower RPM,s from such a small displacement motor. the impreza also tight and while not very sexy as a 4 door, has clean lines and plenty of trunk space.
it only cost $1600 with 125k on the clock
anyone with any subaru (or other AWD/4WD) whats your everyday MPG?
