Hi, new to the forums. I don't see many WRX listings in this forum so I figured I'd chime in. I've owned the car since it was new. Now has 73,400 on the odometer. Local driving - lots of shifting, stop signs, traffic lights, etc. I will get about 20mpg. Mixed driving - Some highway mixed in with the above I get in the 22-24mpg range. Pure Highway - I sometimes take the car from NY to VA for business trips. I'll set cruise at 65mph (when possible). Last trip I was able to pull in 30mpg on the ride down. Basically I filled up the tank the night before in NY. Drove down to Reston, VA and gassed up. The ride home was a bit less. I calculated 28.5 mpg. There was some more traffic on I-95. I have been running Mobil-1 synthetic so maybe that helped a bit. As for tires I'm running stock 16" rims with Falken ZE-512s. Also my car has the turbo boost gauge on the steering column. I tend to use it to tell me how hard I am on the gas. I try and keep it out of the boost range as much as possible. Of course it is a WRX so I get on it once in a while. Very large grin on my face when I do that

What does the pinging sound like?

Replying to: dliboiron (Jun 03, 2007 8:27 pm) I have a question though, in the manual it says I should have a 60L tank, but at fillup its about half that, could it have been a typo?

Replying to: aaykay (Jun 20, 2007 6:55 am) It's not relevant. f you know how much gas you used and you know how many miles you drove you can get your figures. If you fill it til it clicks off and then refill it again you will know how many gallons or liters you've used. This works every time. It's important to consistently shut off the fuel at the first click or in my case the second click with my present vehicle. The idiot light is sporadic at best. See how much fuel it is each time you fill up because the rest is in the tank. I admit I'll use the low fuel idiot light but it can vary by quite a bit. For the record my 1.3L Honda Jazz was tested by the Honda Factory guys with me driving the car to figure out why the economy was so low. They had me do some crazy stuff to improve it. I had an actual factory computer hooked up real time while driving with 2 techs. Bottom line is some Jazz/Fit's get great economy and others don't. But Honda won't admit that. It's a great car but some specific cars get lower economy than others.
