Subaru Impreza Increased Fuel Use Q. Hi, I have a 2003 Subaru Impreza TS wagon. It normally gets about 400 to 500km/tank (248 to 310 miles). 10 to 12L/100 km (2.6 to 3.1 gallons/62 miles), sorry, I'm Canadian and am not sure the conversion factor for MPG, but I've noticed the past two tanks are running through much faster, about 320 to 350km/tank (199 to 217 miles). I haven't noticed any fuel leak left under my car, and there's no smell coming from the car. What could this be? 2003 Subaru Impreza TS 4WD 2.5 liter SOHC 24,000 kilometers (15,000 miles) Manual Transmission ABS, P/S, A/C, cruise control Thanks, Mike

A. That is a significant drop. I would take it to your Subaru Dealer and have them check the engine control systems for any anomalies. There are too many things that could cause this for me to make any kind of guess.
