There is cruise control on an STI, They are talking about what speed you can set it at. It won't let u set the cruise control for speeds faster then 90mph so the rumor goes...

If so, how many miles were on it?
How many miles were on your STi when you bought it?

Have you tried setting it low and then using the cruise's accelerate function? Yeah, it's a pain, but on my car, the cruise won't set above 85, but I can set it below 85 then punch it up to 100 or 105 and it'll hold easy.........

If I was looking for high mpg, I'd bought a TDI or a (God Forbid) Prius.

Sounds like it's not as bad as my wrx (in terms of MPG)
Yea my WRX drinks oil like a brown kid and his kool-aid.
