You do the math !
I topped off the gas just before a trip I took. I made sure it was full before I left. Mine doesn't have the chronic fuel filler issue most people have, or at least not yet. I drove 109 miles and stopped to see how it did on gas mileage . All that would fit into the tank was 3.3 gallons! What made me suspicious was at 100 miles, the gas guage read that I only used 1/8 of a tank. Both fill-ups the guage read full. I set the cruise control for 65 MPH and left it there. It even has 3.55 rear gears! EDIT That was with 89 octane. But with rising gas prices, I switched to 87 octane and haven't been able to duplicate those results. The best I got on 87 was 28 MPG .Not bad for a 4.6 .

The STI isn't that bad. The wide body look helps it out a lot. The WRX version looks like crap though.
