Default Forester STi question

Hi,
Can any MY2005 + Forest STi owners let me know what the fuel consumption is like?

If you have the Litchfield Perfomance pack even better as I am thinking about getting that as well.

I'm guessing on motorways it's about 25mpg and around town about 20mpg?

Cheers
Dan

Although I don't think the AST's had all that much involvement, apart from maybe allowing higher tyre pressures without harshness !

I've got a 2.5 XT with VF39 / Miltek and Remap so should be getting v.similar to an FSti.

Typically see low twenties in normal driving around town, motorway commuting with high twenties on a run..

Interestingly enough that is no worse than when the car was running stock, presumably because it runs so rich out of the factory...

Agreed, with a good map the whole thing is more efficient and has more torque, so you are often a gear higher and using less petrol as a result.
