BOV's are actually shit and you get over them so quickly,

Around the 650km's on a tank for me, 130km round trip daily to work and back (65km's each way), I typically fill up say on a Monday morning and dont have to fill her up again until Saturday/Sunday. Mind you, its mainly 80km and 90km driving to work and back, with not to many stop and starting Thats with no mods except Exhaust

On paper the WRX should win but if you drive the ute normally it is phenominal on Fuel!
Consider what you are pulling there, they literally have a plastic insert for a tray now-a-days and I'm assuming manual as well?

Regardless of driving I style I only manage to get 300km's out of my bugeye =/

spot on it is manual, but it still weighs 1600+kg.... they are amazing on fuel!

6th gear at 110kph is about 1200 rpm so it uses virtually no fuel!

the new AFM autos are just as good but really it is only a 4 cyl when upto speed and halfe the cylinders shut down!

my poor little rex cant compete as smack on 100kph it is right in the zone for the turbo to spool so it is always going to use more (but hey you pay that price with little boosted engines!)

I use about 11ltr per 100kms, not bad considering its generally driven on the weekend with a rather heavy right foot as thats why I bought the thing..

thats with Autronic, zorst, cooler, intake, golf clubs and buggy ect.. (v5 sti)

play golf everywhere mate (just not well) but I do see a few sti's parked at various courses all the time..

and MMS tuned the car, running 19psi and making 190kw atw with a crap air intake, std under manifold, std injectors... and runs 12.6 so i'm pretty in all just need to get that new intake system on, but yes more than happy with the fuel economy..
