f1anatic Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 whoo whooo for a whole 5.2 miles. I did a 45 mile trip with an average of 28.3 mpg. In a Stage 2 LGT...it's possible... Actually I stopped taking pictures. I ended up with 30.6 at the end of my 28 mile journey. I am S2 and protuned as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmillard Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 That is the only CZ I was aware of. I wasn't sure though. I am only familiar with their handguns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.T.Subie Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 To have AWD when the roads are snowy Just a theory No crap :lol:but it wasn't for the gas mileage Denial is your best friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsnils Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 No crap :lol:but it wasn't for the gas mileage And a really funny thing here (European measurement standards, where lower is better...): A Subaru Legacy 2.5i (AWD) sedan uses 8.5/11.9 liter/100km (Hwy/City) A Toyota Avensis 2.4 (no AWD) sedan uses 7.2/13.5 liter/100km (Hwy/City) Similar cars - not so very different consumption. You win some, you lose some... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I've disengaged the AWD (out of spare wheel necessity) on my 99 Leggy and I can tell you that a front-driver is just that, a front-driver. It's not fun, handles like doodoo and makes you wish you had your AWD back right now. Plus, as some others have indicated already, you'll farcle up the center diff pretty quickly if you try to do this for more than a few miles under emergency conditions.

NSFW Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 No crap :lol:but it wasn't for the gas mileage And if that can be improved why not People all over this board are looking for ways to improve all kinds of things why do you have a problem with this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBT Hey, I had fun the couple times that I ran it in FWD. Afterall, its not a Toyota Camry. And who doesnt love FWD burnouts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjundi Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I cannot see how removing the fuse in a Subaru would amount to much MPG increase if any. You still are spinning the rear driveline and have frictional losses in the rear drive axle, differential and joints etc. Maybe climb under there and remove the rear axle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul G. Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Besides the extra wear on the center diff, you probably won't gain much (or anything) by disabling AWD. Unlike 4WD vehicles, your Subie doesn't have freewheeling hubs, so all of the axles, diffs and joints will still spin, just driven by the wheels instead of the motor. All frictional and inertial forces still apply, and all power still comes from your engine. You get nothing. P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a thought that I had when reading the manual. I would say the horse has been whipped quite a bit with this thread. Probably want to lock it up.
