Had a long motorway journey plus some interesting B road dashes and was stunned to see 300 miles from a tank! Car is a standard MY01 WRX and no I wasn't driving Miss Daisy! Does anyone else get a similar return when using motorways, as I usually only get about 200 miles per tank?

 

354 miles before I started with the kangaroo hops down the motorway. Little bit of fun was had as well

 

280 something Up to Tyres Northampton and back. MY99.

 

Best ever was 220 miles with an average about 160-170. But then again, it is one of them small tanked Evo thingies

Had 320 out of 54litres...

The gauge says empty but there is still lots left so usualy run to the middle of the E.

I put a fiver of standard unleaded into the car, mid-February. I've done 5,000 miles since then and haven't had to fill up again yet

Oh yeah, forgot to mention - mine runs on gas

 

I got around 180 miles from half a tank when I was cruising at 70mph on the motorway! In the end I only got 270 from the tank as I took it for a thrash down the lanes on the second half of the tank.

Usual mileage: 220miles per tank
Theoretical mileage: Around 360miles (if I behave myself!)

 

Drove from Aberdeen to Cambridge. On the motorways 300 miles was the best. 210 quid spent on petrol to do 1038 miles
Worst 150 miles on a tank. I only had the car about a week and was still finding out what it could do, legally of coarse

 

When I bought my MY00 the very first tank got 330 miles- as I was 'taking it easy'.

I thought- wow- not bad mpg!

Every tank since then has had less that 250 miles out of it.... :-(

 

Last year whilst travelling up to Scotland my girlfirend got 360 miles from a tank full (~330 miles to warning light on), and that was about 50% motorway at 70 mph and the rest gentle cruising at 50 mph. We have never got anywhere near than again of course.

Managed to get only 140 miles from a tank last weekend(standard STi7 on SUL). Shropshire roads are great

 

What is all this bollo* about 360 miles on a tank.

Polite notice to anyone reading the above postings:
the above postings are mostly fuc%ing rubbish, expect 220, 280 absolte tops, unless you have got all confused, or are dicksleix.

Yup - 180 from the first half tankful. Then about 280 from a full tank thereafter.... Guess we're all in the same boat!

 

dunno about scoob but once drove 30 miles trashing it in a 106 1.1 and quarter went. drove 100 miles very safely and it went down about 2 millimetres on the dial.

 

Done nearly 240 miles and have a little bit petrol left in the tank and that is the best ive got yet

 

Who cares!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

 

yesterday got 35.5 mpg!

was 55 - 60 mph crusing never really using turbo..

was 200 miles....

I was impressed!

Usually 240 until I fill up with 45 litres..

 

Wot never using the Turbo?

You must be kin nuts.

Sir, your car is a Imprexa Turbo in case you have not noticed,
and is a performance vehicle.

Please consider buying a Montego Diesel (normally aspirated) of course.

Driving your car for extended without using the turbo can in fact
damage your engine, the turbo is in fact there for a purpose.

Go on, nail it. You know you want to.

Who let the boy racers out?

/rolleyes/

 

Dan,
Yes motorway driving will improve mpg, I consistantly get 27-30mpg cruising the M1 which equates roughly to about 325 miles to 50 litres, it's the hard accelerating that drinks the juice as we all find out with our lead boots when given the chance

Si, do a little research I think you'll find the turbo is always in use mate

Every bloody month, how much MPG.... Yawn.

Si

 

190 from a tank... 94uk

 

Calm down Floyd!! Only asked as I've never seen a return like I had the other day! Like most I usually get somewhere around the 200 mile mark, was just suprised to see 300 miles on the odometer.

 

just an observation but i thought the same once, but then my wife told me she had topped up without resetting the odeometer.

Dan

As it happens, I never get more than 280 on 52 litres. Someone managed 380 but I think it was a windup.

As search isn't working I'll forgive you this time, but if I see you post questions about-

What is a PPP?
How fast are Turbos?
Subaru vs EVO, which is better?
How much will my service cost?
What do they change on the 45k service?
How much will a SS exhaust cost on insurance?
How much power has an import WRX got?
I've just got flashed by a Gatso, will I get a ticket?
What's the bright button do?
Should I use Optimax?

-without looking at FAQ (also on SIDC site) first then I'll be mildly disgruntled....

F

 

320 miles driving like a *****
normally 180 miles
still better than my old T5R. christ that thing could drink

 

Lol at Floyd! How many miles can I expect to get from a new set of tyres Floyd?? Only joking!!! I'll get my coat....

 

What is a PPP? Prodrive Performance Pack - uprated ECU n piping etc
How fast are Turbos? - bloody fast, 0-60 5.5secs 145mph topend
Subaru vs EVO, which is better? Scoob of course
How much will my service cost? Lots
What do they change on the 45k service? Cambelt and oil, other fluids if needed
How much will a SS exhaust cost on insurance? Depends on the insurer, anywhere from £50-200
How much power has an import WRX got? Depends on the model, anywhere from 240-280bhp
I've just got flashed by a Gatso, will I get a ticket? ummm yup
What's the bright button do? Makes the dash clock light brighter
Should I use Optimax? Yup

DOH! lmao

Usually get 21mpg but after getting a blowout at 120mph and driving like a ***** I returned 34mpg.

It can be done
