Welcome to the forum, Luverly motor matey boy!
dave
P.S. How much is petrol (gasoline) in the U.S.

slingshot

Thanks Dan.
Gas is usually $1.80-$1.99, but a few months ago it was up around $2.50! I don't know how much that exchanges to.
How about over there?

Gas is usually $1.80-$1.99 for 93 octane.
A few months ago, it was costing $2.40-something!
I don't know how much that is in pounds.

BlackScoobyWRX

It equates to a damn sight cheaper in my reckoning !!
Nice car m8
;o)

dave-h

$2.40 is about £1.43p cannot remember when petrol\gas was that price here must have been years.

slingshot

You mean it's more or less over there?

Slingshot.
Car looks great.
You mentioned 93 octane fuel, i'm suprised it runs at all well on such low power fuel. I Used to put 98+ into my scooby, wouldnt settle for anything less.

looks nice mate, very menacing in black too.......

Nice car mate

If we ran our turbo cars on 93 octane fuel I dont think we would have any turbo imprezas left. Recommended to be run on 97 octane I run mine on optimax 98 octane. Any body with a tuned UK car or an Jap import should be running with octane booster as well. Obvoisly Subaru make different engines for different markets.

Petrol (gas) prices currently we pay £3.03($5.07)for a US gallon or £3.63($6.07) for UK gallon based on 80p litre. Somewhat more than you, Yes our government stuffs us with taxes.

93 US octane = 97 UK

slingshot

The US WRX ECU is mapped for 91 octane (US).
I didn't know the octane ratings were different. That explains a lot. If your pump gas is 98 octane in the UK, the race gas must be, what....120?
What's the weather like over there in the winter? I live in
New Hampshire (North Eastern US), and it gets down to -30 F
(-35 C) in the coldest months. I've been told that those octane boosters will solidify in the cold and leave gunk in the block.

Jimmy,
pretty much the same, only we have no side markers. And you guys get better stock wheels.

PPPscooby

slingshot, is that $1.80 a US gallon ??

slingshot

Yea. And that's pretty high.
But like I said, it was $2-somethin last year after 9/11.

jimmy wrx
