Between 20 and 25 depending on driving style and route, stop start is a real killer, steady mway then nearly 30mpg (about 280mile range) is possible.

i'd guess heating thrashing etc lol

i get roughly 160 miles to a tank in my classic, more like 250-300 if on a long run and sat doing 65-70mph (not using boost cos that kills the figure)

Would it not have been wise to ask this question before you purchased the car?

Was taking it to work - tho only worked 10 miles away or so - so was not getting the best from the cold engine!& stopping at every other traffic lights does not help!
Tho being -5 on a frost morning the boost was much better!

If you're worried about fuel consumption, the Impreza is not the car for you.

28mpg..... yeah right, maybe if you stick to a steady 60mph in fifth on the Mway.

About 220 is more like it driving normally.


You play, you pay, i'm afraid!

You will only get 300 to a tank if it's being towed by something

I used to struggle to get that in an SRi 150 Vectra..

About 190-210 is about right.

MY03 STi Not sure how many miles, I think about 170-200. All I know is everytime it see's a shelll garage it needs filling.
Got to admit though, my wifes V8 4.4 Discovery made the STi look economical.
