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.
200 miles per tank

STi5 Type R - HOW ECONOMICAL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
£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?
