All depends on how you drive it, Standard bug wrx will be approx 300 mile to a tank, An sti slightly less, Quite a lot less if you have a heavy right foot, lol.

My Blobeye WRX averages 27mpg had it up to 33 on a motorway run before.
My Hawkeye STI (JDM) which i've only had for about 3 weeks is alot worse. Best i've had is 22.4 and it's been as low as 16.3 and i haven't been caning it everywhere i'm still getting used to it. I'm not complaining though, 800cc injectors, LM450 twinscroll, uprated fuel pump and a remap to 400bhp courtesy of Litchfield Imports it was never going to be econonical. I knwo what i'd rather have.... 400bhp beats 32mpg any day of the week!

Best mpg I had was 100 miles to 1 and a half tanks

I was hooning it around silverstone for the day mind, not the best in economy terms but some of the best fun I've had in my scoob

For a serious answer, around 200 - 250 miles per tank for average driving, around town, some spirited and some motorway etc. Around 300 on a long motorway run.

Ive been recording my mpg for the last 14 'fuel ups' on fuelly. My best is 29.9 mpg, and my average is 27.5. mpg with 4475 miles driven over this period. It works out at 319.7 miles per run on average, with the cost being £70.26 per tank.

Driving is an almost even split between city / local roads and motorway.

I get around 80-120 miles on £30-£40 fuel.

Doesn't get any better on a long distance either.

Blob eye wrx with PPP - I get about 230 - 250 on a normal tank. Although I seen that as low as 180

On a run back from the ring last Easter I drove it like miss daisy and got it up to 380 for a tank! I reckon 400 'down tu fumes' is possible as I wussed out and filled up!
