Couldn't imagine my VX as a DD anymore. Since moving further from work, I would be gassing her up every 3-4 days. Between the mishmash of "fun" backroads and highway for my commute, the drive is usually either done in a "spirited" manner or sitting in near dead stop traffic. My driving habits depend on the freaks I have to share the roads with.

In a strange turn of events though, I traded the WRX in for a new STi, which is rated at 17cty/22hwy. A fair step in the wrong direction from the WRX, which actually got me 30mpg on occasion, believe it or not. The STi is clocking in at roughly 23-26mpg, which is a pleasant surprise. The VX on the other hand.... *drum roll*.... roughly 11mpg. She is completely meant to be driven as spirited as possible though and only sees weekends. No more than 40 miles a week and spends the rest of her time napping in the garage maintaining her beauty.
