Unbelievable economy from an Impreza
Just managed to get 33mpg out of my Impreza. It was 260 miles of motorway driving followed by about 70 miles around town. Before any ones asks, yes it is a turbo.

Thats very good!
It shows the potential of driving slower when its not needed!
61MPG is just wrong!
Diesels are deffo the future. They are getting faster and faster, and with this sort of fuel economy + fuel prices, they make so much sense when buying with your head rather than heart.
When are we going to see a performance Impreza Diesel?

ok imagine this, 240 miles 1 7/8 tanks of fuel one way ( average 130mph as i was late) way back at 80 to 90 with a few bursts 3/4 of a tank
the faster ya go the MORE fuel you waste,,,, now the INTERESTING PART
took me 2 and a half hours ish one way and 3 and a half hours on the way back,,,, not that much time tbh for the cash wasted as i had to get fuel twice on the way and that was the point the missus wanted to go toilet/buy a drink and get some food which killed my time speeding,,,, in otherwords was POINTLESS
speeding only works if you got a fuel tank larger than a STI classic
