Hi guys and girls
Im having a fuel issue (arent we all) with my 1995 import impreza wrx.
I fill it up and only 210 miles to a tank...surely thats not normal.
Now for the past 2 year its been used as a track toy and stored for the last 6 months but i have now got to use it as a daily for a couple of months.
It is decatted and no chip installed and also the vent covers were removed on the bonnet for cooler air obviously- could it be a damaged airflow meter
This fuel consumption doesnt bother me on track but im not amused she drinks this much on the road driving it like miss daisy.
what do you guys acheive and think

Its not far off the average. My MY00 does 260 miles to a tank, thats taking it very easy.
If you say you have no chip, then its possible its not mapped for UK fuel.
You don't mention the fuel you use, or the type of driving. If thats motorway or long journeys, then that is bad.

to be honest mate i have the exact same car as you on the same year 'm' and mine does about 180 to a tank with a mixture of driving styles.

210 miles sounds about right im afraid. i get 230, but thats with a 99 ron and polar chip which helps. i used to get about 220 with the standard ecu map.

westy94wrx

thats shell v power and mainly street driving

man you own a scoob that answers the question!
I got a 03 wrx with shell i get 190miles to tank
tescos momentum i get 250miles
Both with missed driving nice n slow to work, fast as **** back lol

SpecDscooby

I have an 07 hawk sti, and rarely see 200 miles to a tank....its correct all right...

have to agree mine does a lot more on momentum than v power

rogos

thats pretty average what you are describing for your year of scoob and it works out that you are averaging roughly 21mpg going of the figures you have given and thats pretty good, i am lucky to get 18mpg out of mine (heavy footed).

hahaha love the response
its a mix of short m/way journey and stuck in traffic for 10 mins - running on v power
well on the plus side at least nothings wrong with it!!!

330 odd miles to a tank with V Power. A bit less when it was colder last month.

Has the car been remapped since fitting decat?
From what i have read on SN a remap is essential when fitting a decat downpipe....

not yet buddy
i was told a polar performance chip would be fine which is probably the route ill take

I have given up on how many miles i get. Its the fuel prices!

Loco

iTrader: (1)

mine is about the same with momentum. why are other newage WRX's / STi's getting less miles per tank than WR1?! considering I have been planting it quite a lot as i only just got it, I am still getting 280-320 miles out a tank

To be perfectly honest i don't even put any thought to what fuel i use.

The colder weather and short journeys will have a huge effect on fuel consumption.

kz-scoob

Over double what I'm getting buddy, I dream of 210 miles!

I get around 200 (2003 blob) mainly work and back and pottering around. The most I ever had was on a good run down to my girlfriends in Kent and that was 300

when i used to put a tank full in i got approx 160 to the tank and that was when it was £40.00 to fill it up.

iTrader: (3)

Yea that's half the problem now because it costs £60 to fill them now!!!!!

I would replace the vent covers TBH, it could lead to a whole world of problems.

sounds about right to me mate, on v-power iget around 200 to a full tank driving normal, when i drive rather child like i manage about 150, will be better though once re-mapped

So you get over 100 miles more than anyone else

greendragonkungfu

95 import (with the smaller tank 50ltr ?). 260 ps, all standard. i get around 240-270 on momentum 99 and not needing to go above 70mph or 6k on the tacho down my way.

I get 260/270 in my bugeye STi using Tesco Momentum.

Unfortunately with my job changing its up for sale and being replaced by a diesel

Not everyone I can get that in my wagon, driving off boost for a whole tank. Not much fun though.

Newage cars have 60 litre tanks though. Not sure if all classics have 50 litres or not...

I agree to that comment.. There must a place where impreza's can go for fuel addiction/problems i mean

rcak7

i also have a 95 import its a 2.5 conversion with yellow injectors, 3'' straight through de-cat, hks mushroom filter but i only get about 100 miles on a tank, could i have problems or is this normal due to the mods and age?
