Default Just want to check these mpg stats

First Scooby, WRX STI. Just got though my first tank, 152 miles, equating to 15mpg. Sound about right ?

knew they were thirsty, but even this seemed extreme.

chrs, Malc

Has the STi got a smaller tank compared to the WRX?

Although I fill up more quickly with the STi, I seem to have to put in less to fill it up... Probably just me...

If its the same as mine, its quite eratic when the fuel light comes on. Sometimes it lights-up and I can get in 54L, other times, only 47L, starting not to trust it.

BTW avg 18.4mpg over 38K . . . . miles/litres/.22 .. .. ..or .21998 if your picky

When you get 40 - 50,000miles under its belt, you will start seeing 28mpg
