About 20-30mpg for a new WRX wagon between town and motorway driving, just done a run from London to Gloucester and back to London including going through the centre of London and M4 driving and it's average was 31mpg, great power & reasonable fuel economy, whatever next cheap insurance (NOT)

Until recently couldn't get more than 220 miles out of a tank on the STi, averaging about 19mpg
Has got better lately though - last week managed 23mpg average
Not sure why as havent changed my driving style. Putting it down to the engine loosening up a bit!

I get about 240 - 260 miles to the tank, mixture of getting caught in traffic and WOT between roundabouts.
Yesterday must be my worse so far,filled up in tunbridge wells headed off to sneterton,was not hanging around, most of the way was motorway and dual carriage way.Get this 129 miles and on empty.i guess consumption comes right down when "not hanging around".
£200+ fuel bill in two days....just got my credit card statement, OK so I popped up to Carlisle to "Cruise West Cumbria" but bloody hell, £184 in Super and 6 bottles of millers equates to £202, clocked up about 1100 miles round trip

edited to say = 22mpg but I did take the scenic route to have fun, as you do

New shape WRX - last 3 tanks at 25 mpg. That's commuting at 40mph and one 50 miles 'drive it like you stole it' blast per tank...
When does the engine loosen up?
