Don't expect much more than about 23mpg on the combined cycle.

Very low teens hooning.

Anywhere between about 27-30mpg at steady motorway speeds (without much throttle movement)

thats not too bad to be honest.

..am toying between an Evo 6 or this STi but i think the mpg is similar!!

Not caining it everywhere mate but definatley driving it otherwise don't see the point in having an impreza.

I usualy stickt to the speed limits round the local streets but then normaly drive it up to about 5000 - 6000 revs then change gear so taking it easy in my eyes.

I always think though if your bothered about MPG don't buy a subaru get a Diesel

I did 180 miles yesterday on 3/4 of a tank. All were motorway miles. Left home early morning and had a steady journey and arrived at destination with over 3/4 of a tank. On return journey had a little more speed but only 80/90mph so nothing major and probably doubled fuel usage. Just and idea of how much more they use when pushing a litltle. I average id say 22o to a tank. combined driving. As above really on track i averaged 7mpg. lol

I have a WRX with dump value and exhaust, drive it everyday, occasionally give it some but nothing serious, i get 250 miles to a full tank. I was a bit shocked when i first got it! But if i wanted MPG i would have bought a 320d.

un-modded hawkeye sti here, usually get 180 - 200 miles out of a full v power tank. I do nearly 70 miles a day, so I have to fill it up every 2 days, or I might not make it to work on the third day if i've had a play.....
None of my mile are motorway miles, I can get 250 motorway miles in.

My last scoob was a blob wrx with ppp and did the same sort of mileage to a tank.

As has been said so often on here, scoobs are cheap to buy but never cheap to run...

Well when I get to about 250 - 260 miles, & when I fill up and get about 45 litres in.
And off I go again!

Mid 20's MPG.

This is using V-Power, with mixed driving of town, motorway and with a bit of spirited, so i'm well chuffed!
RB320!
