Just been to one of two local stations. As I'm standing, lost in thought as the pump whirred away, (and the price whirred even faster), I was brought back to earth by the grumble of a Scoob engine behind me. When I checked him out, I also noticed that there were TWO others at other pumps, and as I left a Hatch turned in too.

Shell ought to be glad of Subarus, I don't know about V-Power club, there ought to be special club just for us.

I got some promotion from shell last week claiming if I fill up with V power 5 times in a month then I will get double points..... I only do 3k miles a year, Not even a scoob uses that much petrol.

Apart from Shell Optimax / V-Power what other filling stations offer 97+ octane fuel?

Soon to get an Scooby and don't want to rely upon finding Shell every time I need to fill up.

Going to be a shock to the system after driving oil burners for the last 15 years!

u dont want to run on 97 octane not good enough for your scoob! causes det and pinking!, so u need to learn where all your local shell and tesco's stations are as they are the only 2 suppliers knocking out the 99 octane.

unless of course u buy one and get it mapped to run on lesser fuels ofc.

I cant even use my V-power club fuel off vouchers cus they never seem to have the bloody stuff in my local shell garage
Its a conspiricy against me im sure.

dsemuk

So what is V-Power octane wise? I always thought it was same as what used to be know as "Super Unleaded" which I thought was a minimum of 97 octane?

MICAWRX

97 is a little low for an STi...

V power and tesco both offer 99octane. The higher the octane the more stable the burn of said fuel at high cylinder temperatures.

90 ltr tank in my runabout,will let you do the maths.

pslewis

Honda filled my tank on 15th June - 50 litres - 350 miles later the gauge is showing 1/3rd tank left .... I'm going to the coast tomorrow and expect it to be showing close to empty on 500 miles.

Happy days

WRX-John

I use tescos never had any probs (yet) I try not to think about mpg I'd be close to tears lol

Baron Sideways

That's great mate, 500 utterly thrill-free miles!

I can honestly say I am happy getting half that from a 60 litres tank to have many, many more times the involvement, feedback and fun!

StickyMicky

After dropping the 2.5 in my classic and winding up the boost, i was getting 180 miles from a tank on a good week

I was glad when i got rid of the silly thing

The only reason I am even considering buying an Impreza is because I don't need to use it to get around. It'll be parked up during the day Monday to Friday other than a trip to the supermarket. The weekend is when I'll use it to go for a drive.

rexlee2004

Never take your Impreza to a supermarket, unless you can park where no other cars are

There is always some dopey s***t that likes to dent your car.

Pink_Floyd

Sage advice mate

I tend to do that anyway, but as I understand it the panels are mega thin on Imprezas?
