    I'm dead consistant at 16mpg. I don't bother worrying about a fill up until my trip meter is at 320.

    I have consistently gotten worse mpg since the wheels and tires (my wheels are HEAVY.... 27lbs IIRC). S/C didn't seem to change that for the better or worse. It also gets gassed up about once a month and driven mostly on Sundays. Who knows how much gas the garage gremlins siphon out of it.

    Pretty sad when my tuned (roughly 345hp now), turbocharged STi can get about 350 on a full 16gal tank (with about a gal or two to spare). 4 banger FTW!

    thank you, thank you, I'll be here all week!
    ...I was trying to be funny (epic fail!) and point out that in order for it to be an apples to apples comparison, it has to be MPG, not range.
