John185k Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Hi there, I'm sure many of you have opted for a ssuperior exhaust system, however I will be runnign the standard system and mapping/induction setup and was just wondering what kinda mpg?? mid/high 20's? Link to comment
cullenmin Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Taking it easy with not much boost or less than 3k revs then you should be able to see 30 mpg. I did but it was the most boring tank of fuel I have ever used Rich Link to comment
euan_r Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 once managed from peterborough to aberdeenshire on less than a tank and a half most weekends managed to get through two fills sometimes as many as four have never bothered working out mpg it will just make me feel bad. Link to comment

cullenmin Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 When the petrol light comes on you have 10 litres left as your reserve. Provided you always fill up before the light comes on the you should always put in less than 50 litres. Link to comment
mic Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 To be honest, getting over 300 miles to a classic is gonna be mega boring.... Link to comment
Subarstar Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I've got a standard MY89 UK spec turbo - (apart from Green panel filter & stainless back-box) I can remember checking fuel consumption not that long ago after a long run keeping revs low for most of the journey with occasional bursts of overtaking and thought to myself this should work out pretty good.....for me. 23mpg! After that, I decided it's probably best NOT to check fuel consumption. norry. Link to comment

I just about emptied a full tank with a couple of runs into Edinburgh from the Borders and the rest town driving and i got 257 miles with some overtaking . I thought that wasn't bad Link to comment
John185k Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 I can like with that mate - not far off a civic type r Link to comment
GalaGogsie Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 My bro has a CTR and he is getting around the same as me. I had an Ibiza Cupra before hand which was running around 200 bhp and that was pretty good on fuel averaging 320 miles to a tank but never felt very safe in that car. Subaru is probably one of the best cars i have driven in terms of overall performance though. Link to comment
