I generally get around 20-22 in the city and 25+ on the highway. I have a stock 02 WRX.

I believe full tank capacity is around 14.5-15.. Im too lazy to look it up again, and me at stage II I still manage to maintain a little bit over 300 per tank, and thats with filling up between 1/8th and 1/4 tank.

92+ octane only correct? Reason I'm asking is my Uncle is thinking of getting a WRX Wagon to haul crap around in and he just likes the overall style. He's planning a trip to Tenn. and want's to know some stuff about it. I've told him to look on NASIOC, and stuff like that. I know there's alot of WRX guys on here so I thought i'd ask.

On a stock WRX you're supposed to run premium. I believe that there is an option on the Cobb AP to run 87 or 89, though.

I used to get 22-24 around town, but now it is always under 20. I think that is due to the fact that I just put all of my catless stuff on = heavier foot.

So the 5 cats are actually better for gas? Or is it the ECU compensating and just dumping fuel for air? Maybe a tuning fix?
