For me gas sucks. I average about 200miles to the tank. But I typically run it hard. It has a pretty small tank, I think its 13.9 gallons. The best I have done was 255 miles to the tank with a lil highway driving.

Although I guess if you took a 1st gen 2.5RS, hooked up the suspension kinda nice and either turbo'd it or swapped it for a WRX motor then it could be cool.

In stock form though, meh.
My thoughts exactly! I saw a real nice one today but thought how much nicer it would be with an STI under the hood, and all the suspension goodies. It would make for a really nice sleeper!
