Engine/Power - non turbo (All non turbo Imprezas) Who needs a turbo when you have 2500cc? Cams, intakes, exhausts, etc. The 2.2L and 1.8L Subies are cool too.

Surprisingly good gas mileage on 2.2L

Surprisingly good gas mileage on 2.2L

Driving from WA to CA, on I-5 (hills) with the AC on the entire time I got about 32-34 MPG. I was AMAZED. I usually get about 25mpg just driving around town. What do other 2.2's get? I have a WRX axleback and a K&N filter with 10w40 oil.

I am typically at 26 for city and 29 for Highway.
I occassionally break 30 mpg but need to keep the cruising speed down (I think the 2.2's engine is best @ 3000 RPM or below for gas mileage-personal opinion though).

K&N filter
#6 NGK plugs
5W-30 oil

Lots of heavy stereo gear and sound deadening reducing my mileage.
