Are you sure? My mrs Forester turbo is more thirsty than my WRX, but then it is auto and she does have a heavy foot.

well in America it is.... (specifically 2000 N/a forester I believe - details in paid section neagh neagh neagh)

[cpt kernow]

9.3-9.8/100km depending on the run in mine.

which about 10.2k's/L

And I'd like to see a wrx fit 5people, 3 kayaks, dive gear and camping stuff for a long weekend?

14km\l????? maybe downhill with a tail wind!!!

my foz uses about the same amount of gas as my mrs 2002 impreza N\A. 10km\l avg

My foz gets between 350-400km from a tank of 98... Slightly more from 96 believe it or not...

[Shale]

8L/100km when my N/A is in a good mood (go go 1998), 9L/km when I'm competing or driving hard. 8)

If a fridge can get anywhere near that... WOW! ;D

My wheelbarrow goes REALLY far with no petrol at all!!!

[Shale]

That's called muscle burn ;D Good clean energy!

Pfft I can get it to last a lifetime ^{(assuming it does not leak or escape from anywhere)}

Step 1: Trailer car to petrol station

Step 2: Fill car with petrol

Step 3: Pay for petrol

Step 4: Trailer car home

Step 5: Lock car away for duration of life time

And you have a tank that lasts a life time

^{A lifetime may not always be a long one}

i was getting about 500 k's to a tnk of 96 and about 460 to a tank of 98 don;t ask me why have no idea, find i use less gas on the open road than around town to

It certainly does go off. Left my bike sitting for about 18 months, it would only run to about 1500rpm until the fresh fuel came through. I was suprised it started actually.
