im not that concerned, just doesnt seem logical to me... i'll carry on as i have for the last ten years

 

My car did 280 and the the light came on so prob would have had a bit more in there but not sure how much the reserve is in the uk bug's.

We tend to fill our cars up as dont live in town so saves us petrol having to drive to shell in town to get more petrol and dont want gank in the tank getting through just in case.

 

i get about 190 to 200 mile from full to the 1/4 mark around town and the odd whizz and always fill up at this point usually takes around 9 gallons to fill back up although did do a couple of motorway runs yesterday and got about 230 from full to 1/4 mark obviousl being in 6th at a steady speed just off boost helps.....but hey who cares you dont buy scoobs for fuel economy and thats a 2007 sti uk with ppp around 320 bhp ish..

 

Mine`s a 2003 STI blob running 340bhp. I get on average 200 miles to a tank (dail driving) but the best I`ve had was last time I went down to my girlfriend`s in Kent (70 - 75mph all the way, motorway) and I got 320 miles to a tank but to be honest it was veeeeeery booooooring

 

i fill up approx £67 a full tank and get an average of 200 to 240 miles. 30miles per day in rush hour traffic. tbh am not arsed how many or little miles i get out of a tank of petrol as long as i have had fun thats all that counts for me :-)

 

MY07 RB320, standard!

After a very spirited pass back over the 'Cat & Fiddle' , then a run down the Prodrive, then a heavy right footed +speed trip back home...... 290 miles and when I filled up, all the V-Power I could sqeeze in was 47 litres

 

lol

As will i mate. For the last 15 years............whatever that matters

 

I had 300 from a tank but i was driving like a pensioner during the week (poorly clutch) never get that figures these days....

 

300 miles in a non modded classic on 95 fuel with mixed motorway and urban driving - carefull right foot can see that to 315 miles and a heavy one will see that drop to about 280.

 

I got 312miles out of my 2002 Bugeye last week... bit of gentle motorway driving to and from work, bit of a road blasting...nothing major
I average out at 280-ish

 

Because I use a tank of fuel per day lol I fill up 5 times a week at the moment

 

Wow a tank a day
i only do 20 miles in a whole week for work some weeks so a tank full can last a whyle for me.

 

Thats about what i'm getting out of my standard V3 STi.

Mostly 'spirited' A road driving.

Does the JDM V3 STi have a low fuel light?

Cause i`ve heard on here fuel surge at around a quarter tank, like a long fast roundabout can cause the pump to suck air. Not good at all on a turbo motor.

Never let mine get under a half now.

 

240 if my foot is heavy and no motorway, 300+ if i go at 60 on a motorway or drive like an old man or 280 if i drive "normally" but now and again drive a little spirited. 312hp in a hatch

 

so it seems my normal 240 on back roads out of a tank pre light coming on is about right then from what you have all said if not on the little thirsty side. which is still much better than my old Pulsar GTIR. i was well made up i got 280 cant remember last time i saw that out of a tank of petrol.

 

Well thats a good enough reason i guess

I only use bout 25 pounds a week lol

 

I fill mine up all the time because the nearest petrol station selling decent fuel is about a 40 odd mile round trip!!

 

i get 260 just as redlight comes on, have gone as far as 280 before ****ting my pants and filling up again - i run 99 octane on a 2005 wrx bloc eye - remapped with a vf34 + injectors, full decat japspec which has 320bhp proven.

pretty happy with that, bearing in mind its a heavy car and a sports performance end of the day. My mates Nissan 350z used to get 350 miles to a tank and that was a 3.5 litre, and my mates 2.2vtex old man accord gets 370. as a comparison.
my previous 330d bmw remapped used to bring in 450 miles but that was a £90 fill up.

 

Not a good idea to drive about in Subarus with low fuel

I've even had fuel surge at half a tank before !

 

got 160 out of half a tank on sat doing around 80

 

I usually get 320 miles to my 10 gallon tank xD

 

Amateurs!



From one full tank.

 

If I could get 400 to a tank I'd save a fooking fortune! I struggle to get 400 to a tank out of my M3 and the Golf hire car I had last week lmao I put my expenses in today and in the last month it was £1630 and I was on holiday for a week of that and most of that is fuel!

 

Where does the fuel pump pick up from normally? always thought it was in the bottom of the tank? I mean it doesnt float does it!

 

I think this is more of a problem than a theory about dirt (that makes no sense to me as fuel is always being pumped from the very bottom of the tank anyway, so what difference does fuel level make if the alleged dirt is always at the bottom anyway?)
