Question Sorry if its been posted before

Hi

Just wondering how many miles would you get out of a tank of a standard 51 plate WRX??

Ive heard stories of 180 miles when driven hard????

How much £££ does it cost to fill up from empty??

Is it nessesary to always run on SUL or is this for STi's only??

Wow what a lot of questions!!!

Cheers

I have a MY02 WRX . Its standard apart from backbox.

I only use BP Super.
I have tried half a tank of 95RON and half a tank of 97RON, i got **** performance and crap MPG.
MPG and engine performance is much better when using 97RON.
You can use 95 RON, but you wont get maximum performance from the car.

I always stick £35 worth of super in every time i fill up, the most i have got so far is 225 miles, that was with some hard driving but not alot, that also included around town driving.

If your going to worry about fuel costs dont get a Subaru..........or get saving.

Cheers. I'm not worried about the cost - just want to compare with my CTR and i'm thinking about getting a scoob as i have a baby on the way (need the 4 doors). I can get around 220 - 240 miles from a tank with normal town driving, and a bit more when on the m/way.

I often regually use optimax, although there doesnt seem to be much performance difference than using 95 RON. I guess with turbo cars the difference is noticable then???
