2016 SUBARU WRX fuel consumption

Instruments and controls/REV indicator light and buzzer (STI)
& ECO gauge
The unit displayed varies depending on the
models.
The ECO gauge shows the difference
between the average rate of fuel con-
sumption since the trip meter was last
reset and the current rate of fuel con-
sumption.
The ECO gauge indicates the current fuel
efficiency as shown in the following chart.

One of the following items can be dis-
played on the top display.
. Average fuel consumption correspond-
ing to the driving distance of each trip
meter
. Current fuel consumption (This may
not be displayed when driving at a low
speed.)
. Driving range on remaining fuel
For details about the setting of the top
display, refer to “ Top display setting ” F 3-
71.
NOTE The driving range on the remaining fuel
is calculated using the average fuel
consumption of the last 19 miles (30
km) driven. This value may be different
from the values calculated using the
average fuel consumption correspond-
ing to the driving distance of each trip
meter or the current fuel consumption.
! Clock
The clock can be displayed in either 12-
hour display or 24-hour display. For details
