Thats gonna be a real world time because no one in their right mind is gonna launch their brand new STI at 6000 rpm at every stoplight.

I'd say that time is a lot quicker than any 'real world' time that the car is capable off. IMHO, a 'real world' time will be close to the 5 to 60mph time than they clocked as 99.9% of the time that is how one takes off the lights. With a 'street start' they returned 6.9sec.

Is it typical of boxer engines to get such low gas mileage, how does the regular impreza compare in terms of efficiency?
It's not the boxer engine that's responsible for the poor mileage, it's the turbo.
