now that we have a few members with ralliarts how are you guys noticing the gas mileage holding up? i know the 17/25 can be sticker shock and was wondering how you guys have actually been doing in real world driving....

 

in the city on normal mode getting 19 easy and close to 21 driving like grandma.
I haven't tested sport mode yet.
and i haven't tested highway, either.

 

I've gotten right around 20. Thats a combination of highway/city, normal/sport mode, driving like a grandma and an assh*le.

 

Not that great actually, maybe my right foot twitches too much. city type under 13-15 and hwy I guess over 20 is pretty normal. I'll have better Idea in a day or two. Engine is still breaking in, though I've got 950k (750miles-ish) on it now.

 

damn.
i haven't even broken 200 yet.
LOL

 

i can get around 400 km around town on a tank of gas no problem. havent done any real highway driving.

 

damn, these mileage figures are seriously bad. 20+ with granny style is pretty unacceptable

 

I got around 29mpg driving the same way, same route in my 2007 Civic 5 speed. For an AWD, turbo vehicle it's acceptable to me.

 

Actually it is on all the cars in question.
The sticker says on each car says:

09 WRX = 18/25
R/A = 17/25
GSR = 17/25
MR = 17/25
r32 = 17/25

And all the number have already increased by real-time feedback.

 

I'm really interested to see some real world high way exp... My daily commute is a 30mile roundtrip all highway @ 70mph

 

gas wise what are u guys fillin up with cheap middle expensive. i wanna trade my 09 gts for 1.

 

It requires premium. I myself thought it would total a lot of money, but it's not bad. Say you fill up once a week at $.20 more a gallon. $.20 x 13 gallons is $2.60 more per fill-up. Or about $10 more a month.

 

Wow that's pretty bad gas mileage even for a turbo, AWD car. I suspect the factory tune might be the issue, if it's as rich as the stock evo, it's basically wasting fuel. A reflash could add anywhere from 100 km to 200 km to a tank.

 

Early reports suggest it's running rich, but less so than the Evo.

 

Agreed it runs really rich IMO, with out tech stuff to confim. My milage is around 19-23 for daily hwy and city combined. I now have 2600km on it and it's gotten better since breaking the engine in for sure. Can't wait for the TTP tune for this car!
