Also, it requires 91 fuel. I'd say it's a pretty heavy gas burner using over double what my wife's Prius used to burn with regular fuel at around 5.6 L/100 km. < snip >
We average around 9.5 L/100 klm's in the wife's 2016 STi. Trick is, keep it "I" drive as much as possible. Only use "Sport" or "Sport +" when needed. Things like pulling out to pass or entering a 400 series highway. Most importantly, be gentle when using the accelerator. Do not stomp on it!

If I go for a "fun run" in her car I'll fill it with Petro Canada 94 first. I know it'll be an expensive drive but I know it'll be worth it. I'm glad she has kept it for this reason.
