Question

This is what i don't understand
in my old OBS I was getting somewhere between 23-25 mpg in the city and 28-30 mpg on the highway. that with a 2.2L non turbo engine.

How is it that in my 2.5 Turbo engine I'm getting 22-24 city (havent driven on the highway enough to get a honest mpg rate)

I don't understand how i am getting anywhere close to the same gas milage as the OBS

I have a stock '04 WRX and I pretty much exclusively do city driving (Sunrise Blvd.) and get anywhere from 17-22 MPG. I took a roadtrip a couple months back where I did almost all highway driving, over 75 MPH a lot of the time, and I ended up getting anywhere from 22-25 MPG.

On my normal trips back and forth to Reno, I get 30+ mpg, until I get to the twisty stuff. Then it drops down to around 22mpg

Of course, I have no turbo.

And my u-haul truck today got 6.4mpg

yes, to sell it. that and the stock turbo with my turboback exhaust was more suited to my needs and slow-responding automatic transmission.
