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.

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

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

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).
