According to Redbook.com
Fuel Urban (l/100km) 10.5
Fuel Extra Urban (l/100km) 7.4
Fuel Combined (l/100km) 8.5
But it all depends on how heavy your right foot is.

These figures would be tested figures, but in real life conditions is different. I would give it 2-3 litres more than factory figures.

So is that to 60L or to the empty signal on your gauge? I'm getting about 10L per 100K's out of both my WRX & STI around town & much better on a trip.

Then you have another 9 litres left in the tank, why don't you re set the trip meter next time it's filled then do about 400K's, see how many litres you've used & divide K's covered then you can actually tell people something accurate instead of using a figure pulled from the air, Subi fuel gauges are about as accurate as a $2 watch but the lights are usually spot on.
Usually when someone refers to a full tank they mean the tank's capacity.

Well with a fuel run i got these figures 12.6lts/100kms.Going by this if your gauge is reasonably accurate you would get approx 400km before your fuel light comes on(60 ltr tank and light on at approx 9ltr left)all this depends on how you drive of course

i get about 450 till the light comes on?
take it to about 500 before i refill?
can squeeze just over 500 before the light with a light load on the highways,
just got a new performance exhaust, so i'll see how it changes?
