My 2006 Impreza WRX
MPG on my last tank was 17, I did a 500mile trip to newcastle and back before christmas and averaged 22.5 The best I ever managed was 30.1 and that involved driving at a steady 50 on the motorway.
I bought it 3 years ago at 12000 miles and it's now on 49000 so I've put about £9000 of fuel in.
What I've spent on it-
£1600 for LPG conversion last July. It should break even in a couple of months.
£1000 on coilovers as the rear shocks failed. It was cheaper to buy the coilovers than to get new shocks from Subaru
About £1200 on servicing, including new front pads twice and one set of front disc's Needs a major service and cambelt in the next couple of weeks so there's another £300+
£70 on a new battery.
£800 on two sets of tyres
£500 pa on insurance
£230 road tax pa (would be £400pa if it had been registered 10 days later)
I also spent another £400 on new wheels and £700 on stiffer anti roll bars, solid drop links and anti lift kit.
It has only ever let me down once when the engine started pissing oil out of one of the inspection plugs on the block, fixed that myself though.
Great car though, it's reasonably quick, handles very well and looks good (imho) when it's clean.
Now I've sorted it's drink problem I'm planning on keeping it for another couple of years at least.
