Car Info: '02 WRX PSM
Year/Model: '02 WRX 5mt
Modifications: APS turboback exhaust (catless), Vishnu uppipe (catless), Silencer delete mod
Octane: 93
Mileage: 300 per tank, about 20mpg
This is mostly city driving, usually shifting at around 3500 rpms, usually. hehe
Oh, another thing to note, I live in Texas where it get's really hot, my gas mileage is much worse when I need to use the A/C, like about 50 miles less per tank.

So far, from a fill up... mix with hwy & city... I drove 307 miles on a tank before the fuel light came on. That was about 1/8th worth of gas left.
