Hi All,
The specs on my 2002 Impreza 2.5 TS (manual transmission) state the following:
11.1 liters / 100 km (City) - equivalent to 21 MPG 7.8 liters / 100 km (highway) - equivalent to 30 MPGIn theory, I should be able to do 540 KM ( 335 miles) in the city and 770 KM (477 miles) on the highway with a 60 liter tank (15.85 US gallons).
I currently do about 480-500 KM (298 to 310 miles) with about 60% of my driving being city driving. I can't even meet the minimum 335 miles of all city driving.
Car has 38,000 KM so I assume it is broken in. It's my wife's car and she shifts at about 2500 RPMs. She doesn't speed and generally cruises at 110 kph (65 mph). Does anyone have any idea as to why my actual mileage is so different from the specs . Any clues as to what I can do to improve my mileage (other than maintaining tire pressure at recommended levels)?
Thanks
Jim
