My record is 540km on a single tank, was all freeway driving and no engine mods. Usually get around 500km before the fuel light comes on from weekly driving up the freeway to work and back.

If you wanna know bad fuel econony just ask any rotary owner... 20L/100km is considered good ahahaha

I get around 570 around town and 770 country, I presume you are going by a "full" tank and not off your gauge...........notoriously inaccurate.

Is this right!!??
330-350km to get down to 1/4, (where I normally fill up)

Think i can get 420-450 before the light comes on off memory (MY06 WRX btw)

12.5L/100km for me. I just find it easier to track using L/100km as you can never know how many litres is "a single tank".

I get 520-560 from full to reminder light.
Peak hour traffic every day too and from work.

I am pretty happy with the economy for a daily.
