From full tank to about a quarter tank I get about 225-275, depends on how much traffic or lack thereof. <sorry too much jury duty lol.
One time I got about 325 miles but that was when it filled up to the max (past the F) It took about 60 miles just to go back to the full line.

Getting about 19 mpg over the course of owning my '04 STi. I've saved every gas receipt since owning my car so I can average my milage.

No mods except bov (yea, I know, but it's a nice Worx and only venting 50% so no issues at all). I drive hard enough to pshht, but not so much that my mileage drops below 14mpg on a particularly ineffecient tank of gas.

I find that if I drive it like my Accord, then I'm okay. If I drive it like the machine it is, then my fuel vanishes!

would it be safe to say that driving from keaau to Hilo is considered highway driving?

I'm in the 19-21mpg range driving from Ewa Beach to Pearl Harbor and back every day, plus assorted errands. I've been pretty consistently in that range as long as I've owned the car. Best I've ever gotten was about 27.5mpg, pure highway driving, car fully loaded (headed from CT out west for the 2002 www.opentrackchallenge.com ), cruise locked around 80mph. During open track events on real tracks I've seen as low as 9 or 10mpg - with an underpowered car on a big track one spends lots of time at WOT!

On a random note, one of my favorite pics from that drive - 100mph at 100,000mi :

I have gone as low as 11mpg out here on a time attack tank o' gas. Normal daily driving out here seems to be 13-17 mpg. Stupid stoplights...
