I've noticed there is a HUGE difference between city and highway also. I get ~240-250 miles per full tank when I drive only on city streets (~17.5mpg). But when I take freeway trips, it goes up to ~300-310miles per tank (~21.7mpg). I use AC about half the time I drive and I accelerate pretty quick. I'm sure I could get better mileage if I tried.

I get about 300 miles per tank in my STi. I'm sure WRXs probably get at least the same.

a little update..

i still have the same fuel economy. I live in the city area and there's a lot of traffic. so maybe thats why my fuel economy sucks. too much stopping and going.

I remember i did a small road trip and my tank was 1/4. So i filled up 3 gallons of gas and after the end of the trip, my tank was back to 1/4 and i've driven about 90 miles. So that's pretty good,.. to me.. haha.
