OK - as per title;
what's the fuel tank size on a 2003 WRX STi ?

Manual states 60L for turbo cars;

however, ran it right down to bottom of E on gauge, yellow light on, only manage to brim it with 49.5L

Short of running it dry, then brimming, (which I'm not going to do!) I'm not sure what the tank size is !!

It probably is 60L.
I think Subaru make the fuel gauge a bit conservative. In my P1 I used run it into having the light on and realised how much room was theoretically left in the tank so I pushed it further and further. Think the P1 is 60L too and I used to go to the bottom of the gauge then keep going for another 30ish miles so the needle was well off the bottom of the gauge and still had a couple of litres left when I filled up so bottom of the tank according to the gauge would have been about 53 litres.
My dads Forester is the same.

There's another 10 litres when you are at the very bottom of the gauge...
