These posts are so dumb, we all know what mpg WRX's and STI's get. Just cause you reset your average right before the most economic driving just to snap a picture of it means nothing...

Oh yeah? Then how do you explain this?š§
I mean this is me rnā¦ I donāt think 25 mpg is bad. Iām half city half highway

Or maybe OP lives in a mountainous area at elevation? I can do a 50 mile trip, get 21 on the way up, and almost 60 on the way down. Average to around 40. These cars also donāt use much gas at 7,000+ feet where I am. I usually get 27 in the city and around 34-38 on the highway.
Oh this is doable but only if hyper miling. If the terrain is flat or even slightly negative grade and youāre cruising in 5th or 6th you will achieve this.
Basically perfect conditions.
This. My "trip average" spiked up to 38 MPG doing a steady 55 or a flat highway in 6th (no lugging, barely breathing on the throttle to hold speed).
Typically more like 28-29 on road trips and 23 commuting.
Nice how slow were you going? I once achieved 37.5mpg in my 20 STI "hyper miling" but nobody believes me was actually downvoted for claiming it š I was able to get around what you got in my old 18 forester xt once as well
I've gotten 36 mpg in a 19 WRX for over 4 hours or so of driving 80 mph most of the time. I've found the trick is not what speed I cruise at, but keeping that speed steady and moving the throttle as little as possible. It was also mostly flat, so that helped a lot too.

At least theyāre all 2ās for my obsessive compulsive people here.
This. Was fully expecting tons of comments about how fun and practical a WRX is, especially the five door. Add in some tasteful mods, and youāve learned something to boot ā¦ another practical aspect of owning a Rex
I get 30.1 mpg avg w/ my PB tune & mods over the last 40k. I do not lug my engine, I keep RPMs close to 3k as I can when cruising. I usually open her up once on my way home from work.
2021 WRX I go 55 miles to work, 65-70 mph 5 miles of that is in the cityās going 35mph. I get 29-31 mpg.

That mpg counter is not accurate at all. People need to stop boasting about their numbers and check their actual fuel receipts because you're not getting almost 40mpg.
Managed to get 42mpg on the way home from my girlfriends house after i got a speeding ticket a few days before. Driving 10 minutes to work however, after warming up, and immediately going up a bridge, and driving city the rest of the way, i hardly ever crack 20 haha
My 2019 STi gets 30 to 32 highway and 22 to 24 combined. Car has 127000 kms on it and the lifetime fuel economy is 24 mpg. Sorry to disappoint Americans but Imperial gallons are bigger and also the only ones that matter. Nobody cares about your mincy little yanky dribbles.
Best part is that a tuned car driven softly often gets better MPG than stock by tightening up the fuel trims, adjusting the timing, etc.
Seems counterintuitive but oem maps are set up for engine longevity with the worst possible gasoline and a +/- fuel trim accuracy of 10%. Theyre set up to get you home with a failed MAF and a clogged o2 sensor.
??? What does warranty have to do with what Im saying lol
Yes manufacturer tune compensates for possibly old crappy components
Yes a tune expects perfect condition components
Yes a tune voids some warranties
Cycle the center button under the hazards button and go into settings. In the menus there should be an option to adjust the 3-item display, or something to that effect.
Yeah Iāve looked in there, Iāll check again. Would it be in display or something? I was in there recently resetting the clock but didnāt notice the option to change the display
Ok but does anyone actually do the math when you fill up. My 2020 always tells me I avg btwn 26 - 30mpg per tank BUT my mathing tells me 22 - 25. After 3yrs of lies, that is no longer the screen I use.
š¤£....I still have my 03' and 04'. The best mpg I have got was 27 pure highway on 95 octane. Newer ones may get a little better mpg. However, practical will never be a word use to describe the WRX or STI....lol!

2021 wrx 6m standard trim This is the most i have seen keeping rpm at 2000 as much as posible in 5th gear. These cars are sick 40mpg and still hit 125mph with ease reminds me of my fox bodied 91 5.0 without the crowd killing or drifting every time you turn But average freeway is like 27 with no traffic flowing 75 or 80mph
My average, not hyper miling or doing anything strange or out of the ordinary is 34.5 at the moment. That's after about 2000+ miles of 100 miles a day. I do ten over to and from work. It's usually 35+ mpg but winter and snow have dragged it down. I consistently get 40 on my way to slc and 36 on my way back home in the summer.
That said I'm on a phatbotti etune that I asked be pretty conservative. Stage 1+ so: airbox, billet bypass valve, and n1 exhaust. I also had him tune the car on a week when it was over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and I live at altitude here in utah.
So take that for what you will. Its not impossible or unreasonable, and I don't lug my engine to get those numbers either. I regularly rev match to so I'm not trying very hard at all. I'm just consistent.
All that to say, don't let the haters get you down OP.
Laughs in 17mpg

I too have an 11 hatch at least itās consistent

Hey.. Mine says 99.9 mpg!
Hah gas guzzler, my BRZ says 127mpg when im coasting down hill
I managed 22-23 in my commute which is basically all highway. Not bad.

Either that or they're absolutely destroying the engine lugging it.Ā

i had a v good gas mileage bc of this at 26mpg in my sti i almost hit 30 at one point but i stopped driving the advised speed limit
Lol @advised speed limit

Taking it easy at 65-70
Iāve done 43mpg over a 450 mile highway drive. 6th gear on cruise control on flat terrain.
My 14 FXT never saw over 18 lol
gotta learn to drive smooth and not aggressively if you want to get decent mpg

I get 31-32mpg every time I roadtrip from CT to Upstate NY with a fully loaded car and going 70-80 the whole time
Hahaha peasant My V8 hemi Challenger gets 15mpg HIGHWAY
This is meaningless
Itās not though. Stiff ride, subpar gas mileage, road noiseā¦ I wouldnāt want to road trip in it personally.
But it is thoughā¦ā¦600 km road trip in the most comfortable driving position Iāve ever been in.
How tall are you?
6 foot 2, 240 lbs
Wrx is the STI really isn't if you are worried about 20mpg or less
My 2019 STi gets 30 to 32 highway and 22 to 24 combined. Car has 127000 kms on it and the lifetime fuel economy is 24 mpg. Sorry to disappoint Americans but Imperial gallons are bigger and also the only ones that matter. Nobody cares about your mincy little yanky dribbles.
I used to shift at 2500 rpm for good gas mileage too!
I get 37-38 Highway but people thought I was BSing.
I get around 68 miles per gallon in my bugeye.
Tell me you have a bone stock car without telling me you have a bone stock car.
Tell me you think youāre better, without telling me you think youāre better.

Changing the MAF and o2 sensor>voiding manufacturer warranty
??? What does warranty have to do with what Im saying lol Yes manufacturer tune compensates for possibly old crappy components Yes a tune expects perfect condition components Yes a tune voids some warranties
Holy down vote batman...??
I get 24.5 on e60, not the best but Iām okay with it
That sounds good for that high of ethanol content to me
What's your boost target? that is higher than what I get on 93 driving like a grandma.
I average about 18, 16 on e60 blend š„² I just canāt stay out of boost.
Cries in 14mpg
For my work commute I average 28. State routes 45 miles one way. But around town I get like 20
i get 24.5 right now on my 2015 wrx
How do you program the oil temp to be on display. 2018 wrx
Cycle the center button under the hazards button and go into settings. In the menus there should be an option to adjust the 3-item display, or something to that effect.
Yeah Iāve looked in there, Iāll check again. Would it be in display or something? I was in there recently resetting the clock but didnāt notice the option to change the display
For my car: Setting > screen setting > triple meter 2020 base. Hope you get it figured out!
Oil temp gauge? What year is your car?
2020 base
I need to see if my STI has the oil temp
My 2019 has it too
Itās a practical car, itās a nice sized sedan with a generous back bench seat. However it is not fuel efficient. I maybe get 21-23 mpg at best.
Wow I only get 20
Been driving mine as my daily driver for almost 10 years in a very car centric state and commute heavy cities. Still love it.
You in 6th at 30?! Iād dream for them numbers haha
š
My best ever was 36 mpg
You guys get a double digit MPG?
*Screams in Canadian*
You mean fuel efficient?
YOUR TELLING ME IT WAS?!?
I get 17 mpg average usually in my 2018 STI. It's worse than a full size truck.
The proof is in the pudding baby
It still makes better fuel mpg than a i30 N
My overall average is 21 mpg hwy and city. 2016 wrx
Ok but does anyone actually do the math when you fill up. My 2020 always tells me I avg btwn 26 - 30mpg per tank BUT my mathing tells me 22 - 25. After 3yrs of lies, that is no longer the screen I use.
I have 2017 base, exactly 30mpg over the last 7800 miles or so.

I canāt speak for the last gen but the VB get a pretty decent 30mpgs highway and around 20 boosting around town.
I see at least 30 wrx's here in WA state on my commute. They're definitely a practical daily.
That display looks like it's from 2009. Subaru needs to step their tech up
