Default Whats a new WRX wagon do to the gallon? really!

Ignore my username, I'm looking at getting a new shape WRX wagon.

I do around 12k a year and would like to know honestly what you guys get from your WRX's.

I understand you don't buy a Scooby for economy, but for those days when I just want to get from A-B with no rally style drama, I'd like to pull low to mid 30's? is that possible.

thanks for any replies.

I've got a classic but I usually prefer to measure mine in gallons/mile

Hi,

I have a MY04 wagon, and can get mid 30s on a motorway run @ constant 70mph. But its sooo boring! Normal fun driving gives around mid 20s, real fun is < 20...

That means around £40 for 250miles of Optimax Or BP Ultimate.

Cheers

I would agree with buzz's figures - very similar to mine. My commute (roughly 100 miles round trip) is mostly motorway and A roads. Best I've had is about 36mpg, the worst about 8mpg on track!

Chris (standard-ish MY01 non-PPP)

I've got an 03 wagon with PPP. Done 27,000 miles now (eek!) and have averaged 29.3mpg over the 15-months I've had it (I have to calculate this for work as they pay for the fuel) some motorway, some pottering, some B-road.

Always on optimax.

MY04 PPP wagon as well - but I get 24/25 mpg for a mix of roads.

Always Optimax
