[QUOTE="CONSOLIDATED, post: 878801, member: 556419"] First, I never made a gas mileage related statement. Second, compared to other mentioned automobiles (the Cobra, Mustang GT, Chevy Blazer), it STILL gets better gas mileage. Your miles per gallon depend on your transmission, the way you drive, the weight of you car, whether or not your air conditioner is running, whether or not your windows are rolled up, and the weather. So its no surprise that someone with a turbocharged rally car can get worse gas mileage than you. And about your "why would you expect it to use any less gas than a 6 cyl that is just as powerful" statement (aside from me never mentioning MPG, of course), the Mazda 6 (V6) puts out 220 horsepower and gets 19 MPG, while the WRX puts out 227 horsepower and gets 20 MPG. "Displacement" would be the answer to your question. I'm not trying to be a dick, by the way, just proving my point. Oh, and I have a Corolla and "crap-ola" doesn't really bother me. [/QUOTE]
