Between 20 and 25 depending on driving style and route, stop start is a real killer, steady mway then nearly 30mpg (about 280mile range) is possible.

i'd guess heating thrashing etc lol

i get roughly 160 miles to a tank in my classic, more like 250-300 if on a long run and sat doing 65-70mph (not using boost cos that kills the figure)

Would it not have been wise to ask this question before you purchased the car?

If you're worried about fuel consumption, the Impreza is not the car for you.

28mpg..... yeah right, maybe if you stick to a steady 60mph in fifth on the Mway.

About 220 is more like it driving normally.


You play, you pay, i'm afraid!

You will only get 300 to a tank if it's being towed by something

I used to struggle to get that in an SRi 150 Vectra..

About 190-210 is about right.

MY03 STi Not sure how many miles, I think about 170-200. All I know is everytime it see's a shelll garage it needs filling.
Got to admit though, my wifes V8 4.4 Discovery made the STi look economical.
