I have an '04 WRX. A friend had an '02. She said no matter how gently  
she drove, she never got better than 22mpg. So I never tried.

WHen gas hit $4 I tried. Shift at 2000 rpm, predictive coasting, no  
AC, max 70mph. I was able to get 30 mpg from it. It wasn't fun,  
especially in Boston, but it worked.
