Would a remap on my Hawkeye STi give any significant MPG increase?
I'm trying to figure out ways of maybe keeping my car and not selling it, but due to the miles I do for work now, it's costing a fortune.
The engine is completely standard. Exhaust is standard. Airbox is standard. I might put a better air filter on, but would leave the exhaust as is for the time being as I'm trying to save money long term for the next 12 months.
If the car was remapped for 300 - 310bhp, nothing too over the top, especially on a high mileage 2.5, would I see any significant gains in MPG?

+1 buy a cheap diesel with no ****y egr valves and no partical filters in the exhaust to go wrong and drive it into the ground then keep the impreza for evening and weekends

I've taken that car all over the UK and Europe. I'd never break it. If I could find a way, I'd keep the car until the day I die.
I keep thinking along the lines of buying a 330D when it's sold, but then I also want to buy an Impreza rolling shell to use as a long term project. Then I realise the money I'd spend on that would wipe out any savings I want to make and then I am back to square one.
I didn't buy an Impreza wanting to save money. I bought an Impreza and had a great year with it, then got a different job that involves more mileage and moved in with my girlfriend. My former housemate screwed me over and left me in debt by not paying his share of the bills.
You need to get your facts straight before making statements like that.
