I had one of these and yup that's what I was getting..could swear even when I driving it 5 mins down the road you could see the fuel gauge drop!
Painful, but loved the car.
Could be to do with the mapping ..mine did smell as if it was running rich , and MOT time the garage had to do some serious tweeking to get past emissions.

Stap yer gurnin'
"The Old Beast" was a 2002 STI; "The Beast" is my 2007 STI.
The '02 was averaged over about 1 year. The '07 over 4 months.
Driving style: Moderate.
I've found the greatest impact is from green light launches. Avoid these and economy picks up - obvious - i know - but makes a considerable difference.

Thats why i didnt think it sounded right because he atchually does drive off boost 95% of the time. Dual carriage way most of the way to and from work and plods at 70!

"pansy like driver"
i am the so called "pansy like driver" (cheers Oli) and have just averaged 27mpg keeping it below 3k revs at all times. It seems my right foot is heavier than i realised with my usual 19mpg, most boring 200+ miles i have covered but proves poor mpg is down to my driving rather than any issues with car
cheers

In the interest of this thread I drove to Tarifa and back keeping below 3000 revs, I could still get up to 80 on the autopista but it nearly killed me on the mountain B roads to plod, it felt very wrong indeed... however I did get 350 miles which I think is 22 mpg.
My conclusions are that you might as well rag the hell out of it everywhere and have fun because you aint gonna save much juice by going slow!
