Been seeing a few posts recently about shoddy fuel ecomomy on STIs, so I thought I'd post the results of 2 months of logging petrol receipts on the WRX300.
Start date: 01/12/05
End date: 31/01/06
Miles covered: 3,427
Total spent: £523.98 (gulp)
Total Litres:548.56
Average: 28.4 mpg
Highest: 32.7 mpg-115 miles, 15 mins town, rest on motorway "around" 70.
Lowest: 22.5 mpg-148 miles, several short, "fun" local runs.
Notes:
I started recording the economy after I'd done the 1000 mile service for info.
I live in a very hilly area of Kent, with lots of narrow (empty) roads, but the bulk of mileage is on motorways.
Most amazing result: 28.1 mpg, A303 M3 to Axminster and back, with a fun hour HARD country road driving inbetween, showing someone just what the Scooby can do !!
Cheapest petrol: 90.9p (Reading J11), dearest petrol 100.9p (Fleet M3)

27+ mpg!!!
I'm either driving mine too quickly or someone has a caravan hooked up without me knowing. I tend to get c.22 out of my standard WRX.
However I am looking at a PPP; if any one has had one of these retro fitted I'dappreciate some feedback on if it made a noticable difference to performance and mpg (the subaru) stats look good. I've driven a new STi, do you know if it takes the performance to that kind of level, local dealer says a WRX PP is better than a std STi, but he's selling the kit.
Also has anyone a case for separate mods over a PPP kit?
thanks,

Mine gives around 22 mpg and that is driving very steady.
When you did this test,
did you forget you were doing it or do you think subconciously you took it extra steady to get the figures up?

Used to get 21/22mpg with each of my 3 Classics ('94/96/98 models).
22mpg from a Bugeye and 23 after the PPP was fitted at 5K.
23mpg from a Blobeye with PPP and 24 from a std 5Dr Blobeye.
19/20mpg from an 05 STi UK PPP. Best of 26 (M1 in traffic) and worst of 16mpg on German Autobahns (no traffic).
Cheers

Jesus!!!
Thank God I'm not the only one who get an average of 21-22mpg's from their modified WRX (ecutek remap).
The first few threads in this post are all talking about 27+ mpg's!!!! I haven't got anywhere near that since my remap, 22 at absolute best
.
Reading Captain Ted and others puts my mind to rest
