Any 08-11 Impreza ecomodders on here?

Hello everyone! I am considering buying an 08-11 Subaru Impreza 2.5i and was wondering if there are any ecomodders on this forum. Basically I always like the Impreza, and I fell in love with the interior and styling of the 08-11 hatchbacks.

I'm gonna be commuting through rural roads for the next few years so Id like to get the most mpg out of a Subaru that I possibly can (It's gonna be a good 70 mile commute). I have see some Subarus do 30ish mpg but mainly older ones, anyone on here got any tips,links,etc?

The newer impreza will do 30 mpg since you're not getting the wrx or sti it sounds it should do that bone stock. Even the the current outback has been rated for 30 mpg hwy for the last 3ish years. The 13 sti that Jedi sol has will give you some ideas the body is pretty much the same so most of the aero mods he does would work on the 08+ too.

Btw the car I'm saving for is a 09 wrx hatch so nice choice on the body style.

I'm not doing anything magical on my STI. i am just simply following the sticky on the top of the forum

65+ Vehicle modifications for better fuel economy - EcoModder.com
100+ Hypermiling / ecodriving tips & tactics for better mpg - EcoModder.com

A big factor in getting good mileage on my Sti was my kill switch installation
