Tim thats the same gearing as my TypeRA 19.7mph/1000rpm in 5th. I get around 18-20mpg but its lighter than a 22B so slightly quicker and better mpg (flame suit on )

It's not a motorway cruiser for sure.
Generally, I don't think many Impreza owners full stop worry about mpg unless it is unusually low with normal useage.
All range of Imprezas have nightmare stories IIRC about top speed driving.
I don't think it is as common in the phase one engine though, well my old MY94 WRX had no issues with being at high revs for long periods of time. I could be wrong though.
As with all high performance etc, careful maintenance and controlled modding will increase longevity of the engines.

i know 80mph is roughly 3750rpm in my P1. Im not 2 concerned about the mpg of the 22B, just didnt want to end up like my mate who recently bought a Tommi Makkinen edition Evo6. averaging 6-8mpg. Not good.

Chrisp!
My MY94 STI does 84 at 4000 RPM and is by no means a horror story on the motorways. Just feels smooth as silk and the top gear acceleration is amazing.
