I have a Sport and I am getting between 220-235 miles to a tank (50ltr). I was thinking, that maybe a turbo would do a few more miles to a tank as I would not have to rev the engine quite as much to accelerate, say when over taking.

 

320bhp turbo classic. 50lts = 250mls around town and on A roads.

Went on a long motorway journey last week and saw 200mls with half a tank. Roughly 30lts

 

I filled up my type r the other day and got 185 miles out of it

 

04 sti...usually get bout 240 ish.....bit more if steady...

 

Just go for it..............you know you want to and are just looking for encouragement.

PS not sure your reasoning will lead to lower consumption as you will become addicted to flooring it.

 

my god.... I hate to even think of this! I have not seen over 200 to a tank yet! £60+ V power

 

My 310bhp Type-R gets me about 200 miles to a tank, on average i get about 21 mpg
Thst all kinds of driving, around town on and off boost, up and down dual carageways on and off boost.

 

150 miles, but im still at the honeymoon stage

 

Not far off then mate, mines running 319bhp 325ftlbs. I was driving sensibly aswell, with just the odd blast

 

i get 300ish out of my standard V4 Type R and probably 220ish out of my Spec C

 

2003 wrx gets me a respectable 250-265 miles out of a full tank of v power

 

340 bhp bug-eye gets 270 on average... but can be much worse !

DunxC

 

My WRX is shocking on petrol around 160miles to a full tank! its up for sale, awesome car though wish i could keep it!

 

2004 wrx 230-250 mixed driving,280 ish on a steady motorway run.

 

MY07 STi and I get anywhere between 200-230 per tank and I fill up just before or as soon as the fuel light comes on.

180-190 a tank - 2005 STi Spec C

 

200-220 before the light comes on. Hawkeye 2.5 WRX

 

MY99 Turbo

180 - 210 around town
300 - 330 motorway (reasonably sensible speeds)

 

Just had 280 from my classic, only second week of ownership so still playing, but a few motorway miles in there also. V Power all the way.

Though tippy toed to the garage when for the last 20 miles!!!!!

 

I drive a mixture of 40 ish motorway miles every day and then london traffic (so stop, start ). Give it some beans and a healthy dose of the loud pedal and without fail I get around 280 per tank.

Went on a motorway trip a while ago with plenty of fun and got 325 out of one tank

not bad for a thirsty classic..the trick is in the map I hear, making it more economical

 

90mph average over 225 miles gave 23mpg and a tank range of about 200 miles


if i drive slower get about 5 mpg more so sod it

 

Not enuff!

 

Last time I took mine out (LADS butter tub's run) I got 100 miles to a full tank.

 

I currently own both a turbo and a sport.

Sport (Phase 1 115BHP) does 260-350 miles per tank. Normally 260.

My turbo (290BHP) does 220-320 miles per tank. Normally 220.

 

Remap is the key. AndyF asked me what my normal driving speed on the motorway was and mapped it accordingly. (around 80mph) As I said, first time on the motorway after that, I saw 200mls with half a tank. 90mhp on way home saw 200mls with 3/4 of a tank

 

Still wanna know what the threshold for the fuel light is.
They are 60 litre tanks in the hawkeye I believe, but the fuel light is on with 45 litres gone. So in theory I could get a lot more to a tank lol

 

Thanks for the replies lads. So it seems my sport is about in the middle compared to your turbos on miles to a tank. I know I want a turbo, but I want a good one and they cost more than your run of the mill Impreza's (probably going to get the book thrown at me for saying that).

 

I managed 310 this week before the light came on! That's from two rather long journeys though. I normally get about 240 before it says it's thirsty.

 

wow you must drive it like a ***** lol i have a 2003 wrx and never seen over 210 unless when i drive to north york.

 

did 240 miles to a full tank on the motorway cruisuing speeds
