Sounds about right. I usually drive mine in a fairly spirited manner and get a touch less than that.

Ok just making sure everything was normal.. sometimes I will drive a little hard but most of the time I wait to shift so my rpm hangs around 4500 sometimes.

I have been driving heavily on the freeways and highways and have had my mileage get over 30MPG twice, with more than 13 gallons per fillup (16-gal tank), over the course of 370-390 miles. Unprecedented economy in my car, and especially with wide 235 snow tires and "winter gas".

We'll see what the older, smaller, lighter one gets.

yeah I'm curious too.. I want to know how far I can get from CT to NC on a tank.. most of the time if like always I can make it to VA before I have to fill up..

I'm running stock 14's right now so I want to see how the larger wheel from a WRX will effect my millage, I don't expect it to be by much.

Winter gas, winter tires (blizzaks), and winter wheels (stock 16" snowflake alloys) I usually run about 20-22 MPG. This would include the occasional whipping around in a parking lot or all-wheel burnouts in a driveway...

Summer gas, summer tires (Sumitimo HTR ZIIIs) ,summer wheels (17" rotas) I usually get between 24-26.

I do about 30% city, 70% highway. Cruise at 80 on highway. Spirited driving 50% of the time.

On long roadtrips (WNY to VT) I have touched 28.5. I believe I was driving on nearly bald Fuzion ZRi's cruising between 80 and 85 MPG in the late summer. Boy was I pumped to see 28, only happened the one time though. Most long trips I'm right at 27ish.

I get at least 25 mpg on long drives - sometimes more on a good day.

I've been logging about 20-22 miles per gallon on my usual weeks of mixed highway commuting and around town errand fetching. Yes I drive like a total dickhead too.

Long trips with liberal use of cruise control gets me around 27 which seems around average for me.
I imagine if I wasn't so lead footed I would get better city mileage.

I think my N/A RS gets around 23 mixed. My turbo'ed Outback will get 20 if I'm very lucky and do all highway driving. Normally it gets around 16 mpg.

didnt realize how bad my previous exhaust was making me chew up gas, but i noticed at least a 5mpg rise, running at about 250-275 a tank doing 90% highway (speeds between 20-40 in traffic, and 80+ in free areas) and 10% city (usually no more than 40 at all times)

yes i am a lead foot :-P

well i literally just ran my car to the point that it died because of no gas left, had to push to the nearest gas station, lol. but on the bright side, I clocked in 298.7 miles on that 1 tank, odly enough, thats almost 100 miles more than before i got my exhaust done, lol!

I had my tank low enough that the gauge was on the empty mark but I think it was still floating (it floats like mad when it gets that low) So I don't know if that bulb is blown or what.. but it was not big mileage since it was a mix of city and highway.

When I drive up to Quebec this year I will get a good taste of what I will get
