lol, found this on yahoo

 

just got an 04, 142 miles so far with half a tank left

 

30% worse fuel economy from reformulated gasoline? How did you arrive at this conclusion?

I've used both Chevron and Unocal 76 here in CA and have always gotten the same fuel economy on (after break-in) average since owning the car in 2001.

i think that for some reason Shell gets the car better mileage. but i could be mistaken.

i always use 76

btw, i get around 20 mpg

 

I was just wondering, How many total miles do you in your WRX from Full tank of gas to when the Empty gas light comes on?
I get 280miles on my 2004 WRX. Just wanna know this is what most people gets for their WRX.

 

I've been getting just 280 miles too. Which averages out to just a lil over 20mpg. I expected better mileage however, it is a sports car after all. This is in Cal with crappy 91 octane, at $2.50/gallon no less.

Ahhhh, I remember the days with my '85 corolla gts and sub $10 fill ups. It seems like I can't get away from a car that gets much more than 300m/tank.

 

i get over 320 miles then the fuel light comes on good luck

 

I'm getting about 280 also.

I didn't think that was all bad, not from being turbo-charged

They already know the car runs rich from the factory, better to be rich than lean!

 

I get from 300 to 320 but I do a lot of highway driveing (average speed 80 mph) since I live out in the sticks and have to drive 50 miles 1 way to work.

 

Have you noticed a difference with Stage 1? What was your average speed? Mine seems to be getting the same mileage with Cobb stage 1 as it did stock.

 

Well, that is not a full tank. My gas light seems to come on usually after 13-14 gallons have been used(~2-3 gallons left)

To accurately measure your fuel economy, fill up, go to the automatic shutoff, note how miles your car has. Go drive around, for as long as you want, farther the better. When you fill up, again go to the auto shutoff, then again note the mileage on your car. Take the difference of the mileage now, and your previous note, divide by amount of gallons you just filled up. Now you have accurate estimate of fuel economy, repeat.

I get anywhere from 20-24 MPG depending on HWY/City and how big a hurry Im in. Overall for the last 25000 miles I've averaged ~21 MPG.

 

been granny shifting with only the occasional turbo useage, since i just broke 1k the other day. i drive 60 miles worth of freeway everyday for work, and my last tank got me 333ish and it wasnt empty yet. no light turning on.
