S Mode and mileage difference on/off

lmao, people are funny when they say RPM drops below 2K RPM's in nuetral coming off hwy. I guess they need a video to PROVE them wrong. In S mode the RPMS stay higher coming off the hwy or while rolling and drops once you are completely stopped.

As far as screwing up your mpg, should be minimal. Also like someone else said, if you are worried about mpg, this isn't the car for you.

Try driving my WRX then talk to me about MPG. Drive it hard or grandma style, either way it gulps gas. Get on the gas, and watch the needle go down right before your eyes :P

I was just blasting around the mountains with a friend who was driving his WRX. He was averaging low 20s (MPG) and I was getting about 15.

my '13 WRX would consistently be in the low 20's, hard driving or not. My Z gets me 15-19 when pushing it

In all fairness, the Z's cup holds an extra 1.7 liters. Bigger cup, more fuel.

You mean a video like this that I just took?

Pretty sure that's SRM allowing it to go below 2,000 RPM.
