Apologies if this has been done to death but, thinking of getting another impreza.
I used to have a 99 wagon with sports cat and a couple of other small mods and I used to get about 280 miles to a tank.
What could I expect out of a bog standard newage?
Many thanks for any replies

 

Not much

 

280 from a classic! I'd be pretty pissed with that. I'm on minor mods and get 325 to 350!

 

If it bothers you don't get one as you'll only get depressed!!!
I reckon somewhere between 200-250 on normal various driving.

On a long Slow run you should be able to easily eek out over 300 though.

 

what is your minor mods? a deisel engine? ive had 3 classics and never have got anywhere near that my last scoob around town was 200 miles a tank and my current around town is absolute max 170

 

About 100tops if driven hard

 

Do you turn it off and freewheel down hills and never touch the brake pedal? I have 2 classics a sti and a wrx wagon and both of them do about 230 to a tank with the 30 being spirited driving.

 

Full decat, air filter, fuel pump, I use it for work, on Tesco momentum99. Got almost 140k on it. No remap! I don't drive like a bat out of hell (all the time). I used to, dread to think what I got then.

I would be pretty ****ed off if it went below 300 tank.

 

220 on my wagon tops

 

Seems like there is huge differences between similar cars.
This does not make for an easy decision!

 

290 to a tank with a newage mixed driving running 320bhp

 

Mines 611bhp

 

if your worrying about fuel consumption buy another car. end off

 

Sounds good but plain stupid for a every day car, wouldn't mine a shot though

 

280 to a tank 07 WRX

About 200 miles like miss daisy and the other 80 fast road ish

 

Who says it's a everyday car have a vectra 2.0dti for 600miles per tank

 

The best I've ever got from my 2003 is 304 miles.

 

Not bad, took until post #13 on an MPG thread.

 

Anyways, enough BHP bragging and retrospective speculation and back to the original question, mileage per tank from a bog standard newage, expect 250-300 depending on journey type.

 

+1

However, mpg and miles per tank are TOTALLY dependent upon type of journey - motorways at legal speeds are very good - and heaviness of right foot combined with ability to look ahead.

 

I usually get about 120-150 around town. Did manage 377 from a tank ONCE.

But you're forgetting what these cars are about

It's all about smiles per gallon not miles

 

round the doors on school run and too and from work stop start stuff im getting 28mpg without using the loud pedal.
mine is an sti5 with walbro fuel pump ngk7s and a green panel mapped on v power.
But as has been said its smiles per gallon not miles.

 

Mine does approx 200 miles per 45 litres (50 litre tank) and thats a mix of motorway cruising, motor way hard accelerating, then pootling around/stuck in traffic, and also spirited B road driving.
By my reckoning its 20mpg, which isn`t to bad considering I don`t hang around.
If I`m on a run I`ll do 250-280miles sat at 60/70/80.
If I`m on a B-road run cruising/spirited drive I`ll do 220ish.

But I have a Japanese close ratio box, great for shifting, but not so good for fuel economy, but I` didn`t buy the car for fuel economy.

 

Was driving proper gentle for a whole week and averaged 26 mpg. Standard rbi apart from the afterburner middle and ninja 2 back box. Thought that was bloody good going.

 

Best I got was 340 miles drivin like a nun lol. Thats a 350hp newage, but usually get between 230 and 280 miles per tank

 

same here

 

on my Classic MY00 , decat dp tek 3 , just did london to berwick and back Mway/a roads 70mph (true gps) fraction over 30mpg , 300 miles to 45 litres so "could" on its full tank get to 400 miles, though that would be a bit nervy trying to time the shell stops!

 

I have a Hawk STI with 342BHP and the worst i have ever had is 160 to a tank. The best was 320 to a tank on the motorway at a 70-80 with about 20 miles of spirited driving.

I had worse economy before the car was mapped with motorway driving town was a little better but was worth losing a few miles for the BHP gain with the remap.

 

we cant have performance and expect the car not to drink, tbh i hardly look at mpg, once my car is below 1/2 tank shel is my next stop so dont realy check on the mpg on the Scooby, if you are worried about the scooby mpg shouldnt get a scooby and if you have a scooby you will put you foot down because thats what the car is about, these car have made for fun and the cost of this fun is the fuel consumption. well thats the way i see it but some people will have different opinion.

 

Wrx ppp 03, easy 260 ~ 300 miles on a tank. Enjoy some of them too...
