I have just had my 93wrx fully de-catted and have noticed a increase in mpg. managed 26 - 27 mpg on long motorway run. does this sound o.k or is the engine running lean.
what is the average mpg for a 93 wrx?

jjones

maf sensor possibly

red wrex

Sounds ok to me, I got 180 miles off £30 on the motorway in a 94 wrx

You do the maths (as i cant be arsed) lol

julian N/W wrx my93

60 miles to a tenner can't be bad!

projucer

you are all lucky - my95 wrx auto - £40 optimax = 130 miles (same as a bentley i guess) - whats the mpg on mine then?

no de-cat - just bltiz 5" & bleed valve & the fact that its an auto!!!

red wrex

Just worked it out, and it aint that bad really is it
60 miles for £10 is roughly 7 miles per litre
Its roughly 4.5 litres in a gallon

so its about 31 mpg

Projucer, I suggest you have yours checked out

yours is 32.5 miles to £10, so roughly 3 miles per litre
4.5 litres in a gallon

yours was doin 13.5 mpg !!!!!!!!!

i just set a personal record of 290 miles on a full tank of optimax (£41). The better weather definately helps. Used to get about 260 miles in the good weather but have now added an afterburner backbox - must make the difference!

Forgive me if i'm wrong but to get good mpg you'll be off boost, which means that the ECU will be hitting 14.7:1 AFR for the journey. It doesn't matter what exhaust you have on in that case.

Stephen Pope

jay m a - i do not know much, however surely with an aftermarket exhaust, there is less resistance, even at low sppeeds and so one would expect improved fuel consumption. surely my findings noted above are testiment to this?

So far on my 94 wrx, on the current tank I am at 163 Miles and I still have half a tank left (and even that is with a bit of booting it to **** the vectra drivers off) but the rest of the time I rarely go above 2.5K and drive like a granny andd no boost.

When I first got it, I spent £120 in 4 days and got 500 Kilometres (pre conversion) out of it, but that was down to a) me on boost everywhere and a very dodgy Blitz DV.

I have just got the most miles out of my WRX UK300 - 330miles!!!!

Was a trip down from Newcastle mostly at 70 with some short trips since with some loud pedal

I normally get 220-280 miles

Keep it out the boost and yu can get canny MPG but as we all know that is quite hard

Tandy

get around 260 miles avg, bit sick as my mate has just had his 4 ltr range rover converted to gas and it now costs him £21.00 to do 300 miles.

wonder what the Subaru would run like on gas

a how many mile to the gallon question, you dont see these posted often do you

borich

my 93 wrx gets 140 a tank thats all in the town centre driving and a lot of queing and stop starts? that bad for a tank full urban?

Why buy a racehorse ad then just trot around the place?

jevvyg

yu callin me a ******!!

Was driving back from my grans funeral and funnily enuff wasnt in the mood for "maximum attack"

hugo

Sorry 'bout your gran, my friend. I only got a computer, not a crystal ball!

jevvyg

hehe, if only

my point was we dont always have to drive flat out, sometimes it is more appropriate to just pootle and it was nice to see that el scuby can manage more than pi55 poor mpg if you do

cheers
