scouk Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 I Usually get between 260 and 280. Fill up to the top after fuel light is on for abotu 20-30 miles or so. Last tank was 285miles Previous tank was 220 and that's because i was sitting in roadworks every day.. Managed to get around 360 miles out of it at one point travelling south on the motorways. It's more about how your drive and what sort of roads you regularly drive on.. 250 seems about average from what I can tell..

It's more about how your drive and what sort of roads you regularly drive on.. 250 seems about average from what I can tell.. True... occasionally I think I'll drive like a granny and see just how much I can get out of a tank... never managed a full tank driving like that yet I've a real problem in that the road I pull out onto first thing in the morning generally has cars coming from both directions at 60mph+ (downhill from both directions) so you tend to need to pull out sharply to get into the queue... or sit there for *ages*. Doesn't do a great deal for the mpg if you have your foot to the floor for a bit
Boyakasha Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 I thought that when I read it first aswell,he DID 420 miles in total, on 1.3 tanks of fuel. still ridiculous to me, how the hell do people get 300 odd miles out a tank!? I know we are in it for the fun etc but I wouldn't mind a little bit more. mines a 308bhp and I get 220 slow and 180 fast. It smells like most of my petrol falls out the back when I switch it on though! Note to self must read all the post in future
iain01 Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 I'm gettin about 250 a tank with the GB270, the only thing is I'm still running it in and haven't used it for fun yet.
stubaroo Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 Standard '05 2.0 WRX. I fill the tank up to the brim with V-power once the fuel light comes on. This is a weekly event and i am currently averaging 296 miles to the tank. That is with a mix of mostly conservative driving and the occasional blast. Although i think my wife drives it like a loon when she has it!
DrewG Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 I have a 53 WRX PPP (wagon) and I get 270-290 Miles out of a tank, V power used. Cheers Drew
terzo neil Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 my98 terzo managed 343 miles on 49 litres and the fuel light didnt come on
oz *sti* Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 I have a classic STI V3 and get about 200 miles out of a tank, car is mapped for v-power only.
john_mchutchison Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 (edited) i cant believe people are getting over 300 miles from 1 tank, i get about 200-220 mainly driving about town in MY03 wrx sometimes even less. tried a slow drive down south once to try and see how far i could get from a tank, made it to happendon and boredome set in sitting at 70mph, cant remember how far i got on that tank pushing it hard at KH once i got less than 150 miles but was worth every penny of v power.

the_ex_leper Posted November 21, 2007 Posted November 21, 2007 ive never checked when it needs more i put more in and have some more fun lol
colzo Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 05 STI with PPP (300 bhp), 241miles to a tankful working out around 21mpg and roughly costing 22p per mile. And loving every mile of it!
scoobymark Posted November 22, 2007 Posted November 22, 2007 180 miles but i do have 500hp+ I get 180 miles too , must have a heavy right foot
hosstheboss Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Guys, i have an '07 plate RB320 and get 250 miles to the tank max BUT i'm convinced the fuel gauge is all to pot as when the thing is almost empty all i can squeeze into it is just over 45 litres and it's supposed to be a 60 litre tank!!

I *think* there are a couple of gallons left in the tank when the light comes on, but I've never been brave (daft) enough to run it dry to see just how much is left in it
rallyfever Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 Hi Guys, I have a 2004 STI thats been mapped to 340bhp by Andy F, it has been servced every 10k and when I don't hammer the backside of it I can get between 250-280 miles per tank, when it does get a wee bit heat that can be as low as 100, but as previously stated by many - you don't buy and STI, get it mapped to 340bhp if your gonna be worried about how many MPG's you get. If you do worry about such trivial things sell the car and buy a diesel - let someone else enjoy how an Impreza is meant to be driven. PS, The white 18"s are going on the car this weekend and the pics will be on the forum on Sunday/Monday cannae wait!!!! What a bloody kid I am.
fai17 Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 ....... What a bloody kid I am. What are you on about...we are all kids on here!!
ScoobySounds Posted November 23, 2007 Posted November 23, 2007 ..as previously stated by many - you don't buy and STI, get it mapped to 340bhp if your gonna be worried about how many MPG's you get. Exactly - its interesting to know what mpg other people get, but if you got a healthy car then lower mpg = more fun you had using it! - the difference between a fast tank and a slow tank for me is about 40 miles, about the same distance as driving to glasgow. ... and who wants to go there!?
iain_ogston Posted November 25, 2007 Posted November 25, 2007 Buying a second car to save on fuel is a great suggestion! Unfortunately I bought a tweaked MR2 turbo which also has horrendous fuel economy
stevie 4 Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 my 93 import used to get about 160mls a tank but after removing the induction kit and replacing it with an apexi panel filter i get a wopping 180-200mls per tank
buffalo Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 reckon i get around 220 to my last tank whcih was my first one, and i rarely took it it over 3k. filled up on sunday and have used a 1/4 already,rest the the clock so we'll find out exaclty soon. not complaining as i was around the same in my 182. the only difference in the clio was my foot only had three settings, parked, traffic lights and go............lol
Guest Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 Jesus and i considered getting an impreza a couple of years ago and decided not to cos of insurance mainly but also the fuel cost. I ended up buying a VR6 golf and a full tank is about 50 quid and the most i have ever got is about 220 to the tank so going to go buy a scoob for the economy My car indicates an average of about 25-26 with an average speed of 30mph. I drove to the manchester and back last year about 600 miles round trip and it cost about 150 quid although i did do the 600 miles in 8 hours still though i never realised imprezas were that economical. Anybody want to buy a VR6 golf
irn_bru Posted November 26, 2007 Posted November 26, 2007 My mpg seems do have dropped loads since i got the car.I was starting to have slight feelings of concern but then i realised just how much faster i had started getting to work in the morning.
