Stevo F Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Just bought a '98 Legacy wagon with the E22 today. It will be great having another AWD vehicle in the family but I will miss the 32- 33 MPG my Corolla gets (which will eventually go to my son). For my commute (approx 80% highway/ 20% stop and go) hoping for at least 25- 26 MPG with this car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatGuyFromAus Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Around town I religiously get about 25 MPG thats on 91 In aus we get 91/95/98 mine seems to use more fuel the higher octane I go MSD coil and iridum plugs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dshive Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 just went on a long trip to visit family and stopped to fill up at 320miles when there was probably 1-2 gal in the tank left but being on the highway, I didn't want to push it. That's pretty god damn good gas mileage for a $1600 car with 162k miles. Pretty happy with the car so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo F Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Way too early too tell, but I filled up my new '98 Legacy L (EJ22 engine) for the first time about 80 miles ago and the fuel gauge is still one notch below full (wishful thinking- will probably drop like a rock from here).

Sludgeroo Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 They tend to do that. For like Monday and Tuesday ill just be happy its staying full and after coming home from work on Wednesday it'll be like just above half lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cal71919 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I'm pretty confident my ej22 could get 450 miles per tank. I've done 400 driving it hard one day running late for work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo F Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 So far my first half tank (if gauge is accurate) I've gone 216 miles which comes out to 27 MPG (I'd be pretty happy with on my commute). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffy Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Could have sworn I replied to this thread ages ago.. But I seem to get a constant 23.5 mpg, 23.9 for premium. but it idles smoothly on higher octane. But I'm still on the fence about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98legwag Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I am getting about 25 mpgs average driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyposeur Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Scruffy what app is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffy Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Last fill was 22 mpg. But that was because I had to fill up at one of the less-than-amazing gas stations on my way to work. And Monkey, It's Road Trip. It's a bit more pricier for an MPG app. but it is the best I've found. I used accufuel for years, but the amount of data is showed you was next to null Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98LGTLover Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I get a consistent 22-24 mpg. Usually drops to 19-20 during the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mailman Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 14-17 actually it depends on the route, I have one that's half cluster boxes and so I can get like 22 on that one. Normal driving, 28-30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urdrwho Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Today I went for a test. My 97 Outback Ej25 gets 25 MPG on the 55>65 MPH no stop trip. I expected (hoped ) for better MPG. My 95 Caddie DeVille Concours with the Northstar engine gets 25 MPG on the same trip. The difference and the savings will be - Subbie can use regular gas - Caddie needs a minimum of middle grade gas (book calls for Prem)Subbie should get better around town MPG - I hope I hope to get better MPG when I get a few things in order such as the misfire on Cyl4 and the possibly blocked BPT tube.

Baddog Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 In my frankenmotor I get around 21 ctiy 26 Highway. If I am on a straight highway trip. Like the BNW meet I will be going to I get around 30mpg. Hardly any fuel mileage drop from the 2.2 to the frankenmotor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo F Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I went for my second fill-up since getting the car. I put 10.12 gallons in (and that's with the gas pump clicking off a few times) and had gone 287 miles. This comes out to 28.36 MPG (in mixed highway/ around town driving). Most likely it didn't fill up as much as the firdt time, but if I'm pulling even 26 or 27 I'd be thrilled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
