As a new owner.lol I went for a drive last nyt and seemed to get nowhere on the fuel I had put it. What are people averaging. Are subarus known for usin alot of fuel

 

Depends how heavy your right foot is... last track day was the scooby getting 14mpg

 

Averaging 24mpg from my 2.5 WRX PPP

 

I have a bugeye wrx and I gave up putting petrol in I now fill up in £20 notes lol. I used to own a Fiat coupe 20v turbo and that seemed better on fuel?
Did you know that when your touching the red you still have 15L of fuel left, with me I am always filling up but only putting in 40-45L when I am on empty I have a 60L tank CONFUSED

 

I've got a classic and found the same thing when i fill up from the red!
As for MPG totally depends how your driving it, for example i went to london last weekend and used full tank on the way there but only 3 quarters on the way back!

 

lol when i went to london i used 5 1/2 tanks

 

Never thought of that! How big is the tank in Hawkeye WRX?

 

Yeh I have 2001 bugeye wrx. I put 20 quid in and got 90 miles that was just chilling out 2. My 200sx is better on fuel lol

 

If you are worrying about fuel consumption you have the wrong car

 

2004 Blobeye WRX and I get 23 mpg back and forwards to work mainly on Dual carrageway and fast A roads.Went up to liverpool from derby a couple of weeks ago and averaged 32 mpg @ 80/90 mph on motorway.

 

My V4 STI gets roughly 28mpg on average, which i thought was pretty good - roughly 300 miles per fill-up, with a fill from the orange light taking about 50 litres (v power only of course )

 

It wudnt bother me. But it's not exactly quick lol

 

Can't argue with that !

6 mpg on track, 14 mpg on a "run" and 23 mpg average.

dunx

 

I just fill it when its getting low - after all its about Smiles Per Gallon

 

classic 2000 turbo. cone fillter 3 1/2 exhaust pollished headers 1bar boost .i get 155 miles per uk tank if i push it or not

 

what that man said!

 

25mpg here. 93 wrx

 

Ive got a UK MY99 Turbo 2000 with PPP and I get 80 - 90 miles for £20 driving sensibly, with pushing my foot down regularly I get between 70 and 80 miles, but true, these cars aint meant to be driven 20 miles a day urban!

 

Cruisin on the motorway I get 30mpg, track day I get 5mpg

 

Classic Wagon. no more than 180 miles to a tankfull. £45 quid to fill.So as above..not moaning though because if its a problem buy another car..

 

Did you still have the handbrake on?

 

I find my Standard UK MY00 Classic a lot better on fuel than I thought it would be haven`t worked out the exact but its better than my prev golf vr6 and its a lot more smiles per gallon than the vr..

 

2003 blob eye i get 220 at a push on 3/4 of a tank

 

i got 290 on a full tank, thats motorway/b road blast/ to and from work for a weekish.

53 plate wrx.

 

It was gettin 4, not 14

 

What's the reserve on a classic (uk spec). So when the petrol light goes ON, driving sensibly, how many miles can i squeeze?

 

Good god some people have humongous fuel consumption are you sure your 02 sensor isn't dead? I get 300 miles to 45 litres. Longish journeys and some hard driving on the back roads, but careful driving the rest of the journey.

It might be about the smiles but when it cost 200 a month in fuel it ain't so funny.

 

Btw you'd probably get 50+ miles with the light on but I wouldn't want to try it...

 

Well I've got a Classic Turbo 2000 with PPP and I'm getting on £50 driving normally with the occasional press down of the foot no more than 200 miles. Is that about right for that car? How do I check if the o2 sensors gone?
Thanks

 

Everyone has different driving habits but that seems mighty excessive, I would expect over 320 miles from £50.

If you have RomRaider (search google), a VAG com cable, a laptop and a MY99/00 car you can look at all the sensor readings. The 02 sensor should fluctuate between 0.3v and 0.7 volts on idle or cruise. If you don't have any one of the above its more difficult, and swapping in a known working one would be easier.

You could check it on a hot idle using a multimeter. The black wire of the three is the signal wire (whites are the heater) and you should see the voltage swinging between the above values maybe 1-3 times a second. If its stuck at a low value or is very slow then its probably dead.
