I can care less about my 05RS since it is not WRX.
(I pay about $29 per fill up.)

22 miles/gallon combined on a 2.5i manual tranny. i reset the trip meter to zero everytime i fill up the tank and on the next fill up i divide the no. of gallons filled in the tank by the number of miles driven on the trip meter. That's the most accurate way to find out how many gallons per mile you drive. On the '04 STi i had 17 miles per gallon.

Before my accident, I was getting pretty lousy gas mileage from my OBS impreza. I have only 2700 miles though

I hang around 25MPG, and do a good mix of city and highway driving. I have a manual, and drive it a little more "revvy" than most. Perhaps i would get 27 if i toned it down a bit.

2004 I was averaging 24.25 MPG
2005 I was averaging 23.75 MPG (didn't take as many road trips)

I have actually had 29MPG once and even 17MPG. Almost always is right at 23-25MPG.

Bought w/ 63k on it and I now have 104k

Yeah, driving 80 consistently will kill your mileage...

I get 26 driving the backroads of PA 45 miles one way to work. That includes passing the slowpokes, cell phoners, school buses and other assorted annoyances.
