I think the best I got from EA81 Brumby on highway and mountain runs was 8.5 litres per hundred (twin carb) and a comparison to EA82T Vortex on 98 best was 8.3 , then 99 Forester EJ202 best 7.5 with an average around the 7.7 mark. The EAs are much more fun engines to drive I reckon. Though, may not be fair to the EJ20 as it is too quiet, no induction roar, whisper quiet factory exhaust, I can't use my hearing to gauge gear shift time
