I recently purchased a 93 Subaru Impreza L for $800. It is a 1.8l with 160,000 miles, front wheel drive and a five speed. I have put about 1000 miles on it and have seen an average fuel economy of around 32mpg, my worst mileage being 27mpg driving hard in the mountains and my best being 36mpg cruising on the highway.
My short term goal with the car is to average around 40mpg and I would love to hit 50mpg if possible. However I have no clue where to start!?
