US WRX owners: What MPG are you guys getting?
Guest 7 April 2005 21:53:06
	With the recent gas increase I'm looking to invest into a second vechile that is better on gas, yet still fun to drive. I'm looking to buy a brand new or slightly used 2005 WRX with the 5-speed manual. After testing the Accord Hybrid, Civic Hyrbid, Turbo Jetta and the WRX, I like the WRX overall. I see the sticker rates it at 20/27 City/Highway. Just curious what others get out of theirs? What type of gas do you use? What style driving (mostly city, half and half city highway?) What grade of gas are you using? Thanks Chad Remove the obvious from above to reply directly

	02 WRX Wagon, US Around town / light driving - 21 mpg Around town / heavy driving - 16 or less mpg Freeway / cruising - 27 mpg Freeway / passing - 23 or less mpg Light driving / Cruising = not using turbo Heavy driving / passing = using turbo 10-20 times in a tank (usually thru 1 maybe 2 gears). If you use the turbo all the time you can easily drop the above numbers in half, especially around town. 23k miles, 93 octane, MT mainly California driving (I-5), not much traffic

	05 WRX 5spd wagon. I get about 24 to 25 mpg on steady highway cruising. I didn't buy my WRX to get good mileage, I bought it for fun driving.

Keep in mind that I am running engine management and high octane fuel so I generally run a bit leaner than most people would feel safe doing. I'm sure someone is gonna ask why I use 110 leaded, the answer is because its only $.50 more per gallon than 92 octane where I live and if I ran 92 octane I'd be back around 18/22 mpg w/ nowhere near the same power (due to different, more rich tune). Also, I bypass my O2 sensors when running leaded and just run my wideband to monitor AFR.

	My 2002 WRX (5MT) averages 23.4MPG. I am just shy of 48,000 miles. Mixed driving, slightly modded, but I got same MPG stock. I use highest octane, which was 94..now 93 in MA. WRX's arent good on gas, but its more fun than an Accord, Civic, or Jetta..for me at least~ <ChadsMach1@nc.rr.com_remove> wrote in message news:6se5e.22950$9v2.848289@twister.southeast.rr.com...> With the recent gas increase I'm looking to invest into a second vechile > that is better on gas, yet still fun to drive.> I'm looking to buy a brand new or slightly used 2005 WRX with the 5-speed > manual.

	I just bought an "05" WRX (STI), it only has about 1800 miles on it and I get about 23.6 mpg. I use the octane fuel I can 93 oct. Most of my driving is on the highway and the rest is on gravel roads. The stock tires are not that good on the gravel but what would expect. I tend not to push it too hard unless the need arises.

	26.34 US miles/gallon @17 miles to work each way every weekday and mixed with at least three short trips of 5 miles each week. Oh Yeah 02 WRX with 61,000 miles on the clock. I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.
