I've got a totally standard MY99 and once the initial thrill of booting it everywhere wore off (it is my first Impreza) I've settled to about 22-23 mpg - i.e. about 240-250 ish miles before the warning light comes on. 200 seems a bit low - but I think a lot depends on how you drive it - as I suspect you are well aware

Agreed I generally can see 230-240 which includes mixed driving.....20 does seem rather low. Mine uk 2000ppp.

iv only just got an import WRX. 276bhp.

am i right in thinking the imports have smaller tanks?

anyway i filled up from almost empty with £35 of optimax (expensive as it was from the motorway services) and a bottle of millers octane booster!

iv done 185 miles and have just over 1/4 of a tank left, and thats with the toe down a fair bit (iv only just got the car, it would be rude not to)

200 to a full tank, i worked out as being 20mpg ish?

I believe my 94 UK classic has the smaller tank (50L) than the later models and I get about 230miles to a tank of mixed driving.
