MPG ..... what do you recon?
Hi
I know we dont but these cars for their fuel economy and I dont care as love every minute I drive mine
But ..... I have had her recently serviced and did a MPG reading by filling tank up and then refilling, did a mixture of town and motorway driving and got an MPG of 22.8 - is this good ??

They can be good I guess on a good run I get 40 miles to a tenner but the norm seems to be 20-30 miles round town. Typically. Mananed to do 110 to 25 quid last week not sure if that's good or not but its definitly a lot better than my mates sti and both are modified to the same sort of levels, mid mods.

imprezas are crap on fuel no matter what.
i get 200 miles to a tank on my 04 sti and i was aware of this before purchasing and i know its crap but to get anymore mpg i have to drive it off turbo and below 2k revs so what is the point of having 300+ bhp if your going to drive like that?

The fuel tanks are kidney shaped and not really accurate around the halfway mark. Fill it up to the brim, reset the tripometer and wait till the fuel light comes on again.
Remember these cars are crap around town and hate short journeys

I wouldn't say I was overly heavy on the right pedal, she's mostly say at 80 on the way to work and back which is approx 30 miles.
I'll be driving up to MK in a few day and will get a figure for that trip

my last uk turbo with loads of mods would get 27mpg my import now gets 20mpg however i drive.i put the difference down to the shorter gear ratios in the jdm box meaning cant cruise at low rpm.
