Like the others said, anything between 170 and 235 depending on how you drive it and where ( Town or Motorway )

Did get 300 miles once. But I was in a bad place at the time, I was thinking of selling up at the time. Only used 1,3 and 5th.

I don't bother checking as I didn't buy an Impreza to worry about MPG, but I will say that the Spec C is better on fuel than my S202 was.

I would hazard a guess at around 200-240 miles to the tank, it does also have a smaller tank than a standard newage.

my uk turbo does anywhere from about 240 to 300 hoping to get it mapped to get a few more out of it. The tank takes about 60 quids worth.

Usually around 180-190 for me, but as Chris pointed out the early JDM's only have 50 litre tanks.

On the recent run to Prodrive I was very surprised that my MY00 Turbo 2000 managed a staggering 29.86mpg this was two up myself and Subzero as passenger.

Mods are Green Panel Filter, Exhaust After Burner Vortex, and a Walbro 255lph fuel pump.

I was impressed as we didn't hang about on the way there and on the way back was always between 70-80mph.

Coming back from the RB Day on Saturday we took the scenic route back from Banbury via the following route (along with a detour to get some 99 fuel) :

Oxford
Cheltenham
Forest of Dean
Monmouth
Abergavenny
Brecon
Llandovery
Llandeilo
Lllanelli

It totalled around 190 miles and when I checked the fuel gauge after finishing I still had around 1/3 of a tank of fuel, so I would estimate that on average my Impreza returned around 27mg and that I used 7 gallons of fuel.

That did involve some spirited driving through the Forest of Dean and from Brecon down to Llandovery (damn bikers got in the way after that).

my all time average is climbed slightly to 23mpg, although i did get 29mpg last week on a tankfull on a 290mile motorway run at 80ish with some foot to the floor now and again, i recon i would have gone into the low 30's if i did a constant 60, although the couple of quid saving wouldn't have been worth the boredom.

I am lucky to get 170-180 miles out of £60 worth of tesco's finest in my 2007 STI Uk with PPP which is not good, thats driving it pritty relaxed most of the time,but the fun you can have justifies it all for me..!!!

Mine is a second car and spends most of the time resting in the garage, so fuel is not that much of a issue for me..!!
