STi got traded on an 08 civic EX about 3 hours ago. Man it was sad to see it go. i got an ok price for it, not as much as I could have gotten somewhere else, but I liked the civic more than the corolla.

STi was my dream car, well a 1998 STi anyhow, maybe I will just build that

K, now do us guys a favor that want an STi and let us know where you traded it in and what they gave you for it.

You must be driving it conservatively to hit 20mpg. Are you just staying out of boost to accomplish this? Mostly highway miles? I'd love some tips I can't remember the last time I got over 16mpg...I'm usually in the 10-15 mpg range!!
ah nope, but most og my driving is highway, like 75-80% of it. It was 100% stock.

This last week I set the rev light to 3K and kept it under that at all times and got 23 average... but it sucked to drive that way.. lol

nothing over 35 highway that i know of ?.. AWd doesnt really lend itself to being that fuel efficient.

What really bugs me is the lack of a true minivan, with the sliding doors. Man an AWD Subaru minivan would rock. 2.5, 2.5XT and 3.0R levels

no one makes a fuel efficient minivan, they are all about 15-19 and 23-27... best is Mazda but that barely makes it as a minivan, the thing is tiny we could barely fit our double stroller in it.

I get 25-26mpg in my bugeye WRX. When I installed a HKS drop in filter, it dropped to 19mpg. With a catback installed, it dropped to 22.5mpg. Needless to say, now I'm running a Fram air filter and an STi axle back.

last tank was about 18-19mpg, and 75% of it was cruise control on the interstate doing about 75.
