Can sum 1 help plz, i am lookin to buy a Impreza WRX 2.5 AWD, 2006 model, can sum 1 plz tell me how many miles it will averagely achieve on a full tank of petrol, or the most miles it will achieve driving it normally.

 

If you're worrying about mpg is it really the car for you?

No idea what mpg I get. When the fuel light comes on I fill up.

 

Dont know what my mpg works out at but i avearage about 240 miles from a tank of v-power, my best is 260 and my worse one is probably the current tank it's on as it's all been town miles nipping to friends houses and shops etc.....

84 miles from half a tank so far



Car is a standard 03 wrx, i think to help fuel consumption i need to do some engine mods

 

weekend trip to alton towers from london
3 people plus luggage
usual motorway speeds
29 mpg
in a gb270 wagon

budgie

 

12mpg if im on motorway Its great .........

 

Did you have a 52 plate mica blue bug?

 

If you drive with economy in mind you should get over 400 mph
If you don’t live in a town

I do a lot of miles so I need a car that I can afford to drive a long way
And a car I can have a lot of fun in.

What this thread shows is there is a lot of drivers that do not have the skill
To drive in a way that will get you to your destinations quickly with the best mpg

That dose not mean you are driving miss daisy

 

Wow, where do I get a 400 mph Impreza!

 

35MPG is my best....its not that hard to get resonable MPG from the impreza just a bit boring.

35MPG was achieved weekend trip to the south of england a steady 65-70MPH on the motorway

 

380 something from brim to very low, but not orange light, mainly N and some A roads in France, relaxed driving.

 

300 miles on one tank.

 

It's fairly obvious Jackie was driving.

 

Track day 6 mpg, today 27 mpg, into a blizzard... have managed 30 mpg, but got bored. Due to nearly 400 bhp....

DunxC

 

How come i get around 280 from a tank


in a non-turbo
and i havent been bad these days

 

300 miles with full tank....

 

Went down to bath from scarborough in june this year and used 2 and a bit tanks just to get there, used £270 in one weekend! Averaged 15mpg. Think if you stick to about 65 in 5th your ok but soon as you hit 70-80 and boost comes in your knackered.

 

300 miles is best on one tank, got nearly 200 miles out of the first half and then my foot must have slipped ?????

average 250 ish under normal driving conditions

 

Found exactly the same with a mate who had a 98 sport. I had a mapped MY99 UK turbo and every time I could get higher MPG than him.

 

I got 302 out of a tank once. I then thought if I wanted to drive like this I should buy a diesel focus.

I now get about 240 and enjoy myself a lot more.

 

if you drive the car right having a turbo actually helps mpg. ie the logic is that when the turbo begins to spool up it takes the pressure off the injectors and hence you save fuel !! at least thats what I've been told .....

 

means if i remap mine, i should get over 300 miles a tank,,,



This picture was taken on Sunday morning..... and ive covered around 30 miles or so and was empty

 

my00 and i get 80 miles to each quarter graduation mark on my dial

mostly A and M roads, mostly legally

 

On a recent trip to the ring, I got roughly 33mpg from my98 wagon. Car had 2 passengers and luggage. Speed wise, I was going to legal limits.

 

If your car is a non turbo, I don't think theres much point mapping if at all.

You'll find old threads about improved MPG after ECUTEK mapping.

 

I got better than 30mpg in shaggy1973s Classic. Itd have been quite a lot better if Id driven there too...

 

190 miles ish to 55-60 litres of vpower if i take it easy mine has seriously s**t mpg.
When i got it id average in week with a bit of fun at the week end about 280-300 miles to a tank

 

drove home from germany to devon 764miles, filled up 3 times think thats around 20-21mpg?.... not too bad speed wise germany 120mph, france 85mph and england a very slow 75-80mph.

 

best ive had is 20ish mpg and the worst is 8 mpg, as usually get 210 miles froma full tank but if get a heavy right foot i get about 80 milesto a tank, or £20 = 80 miles

 

exactly

 

360 miles per tank on the motorway. Mixed I get to 280 to 300 when the light comes on. Works out around 26 to 34 mpg. I did get 70 to half a tank while blasting through the derby dales though

I'm pretty sure I was heading for a 400+ tank on the Mcrae convoy!

Any Impreza, within reason, can be economical.
