andypugh2000 30 October 2004 05:38 PM

You must be doing something wrong, 28mpg :confused: where is the fun in that :D:D

chrisp 30 October 2004 05:40 PM

just filled mine 24.5mpg :eek:

Thats brilliant with the gearing, normally cant get above 20mpg. Must be the remap :D.

16vmarc 30 October 2004 05:44 PM

I was expecting it to be alot lower actually, although most of it was at constant speeds, emphasis on the speed ;)

:D

Flat 4x4 30 October 2004 06:24 PM

You've just reminded me how dreadful the Impreza mpg is. Even allowing for the excellent performance its pretty poor. That's the trade off though for a good 4x4 system.

Just sold my 220bhp 4x4 with Haldex 4wd and Averaged 29.5mpg over 2 years.
It was 25% more economical overall than my last Impreza was with similar power.

The 4x4 system was better in the Impreza but 95% of the time it didn't matter.
That's the trade off you make.

Just got 29 mpg out of mine but had to drive like a complete wuss to get 110 miles out of the last third of a tank. ( just wanted to see if it would do 300 miles on a tank). :cuckoo: Managed 327 in total and thel ight came on 10 miles from the shell garage.

Not doing it again, i`m going back to 250 miles a tank.

dogpole 31 October 2004 09:43 AM

How on earth do you get over 20mph even on the motorway ? I've nevwer got more than 240miles out of a tank even driving off boost the whole journey ?

I was driving on A roads btw with 11ltrs.

BittenEdges 02 November 2004 05:34 PM

Rubbish! I done 382miles in a MY03 WRX using Optimax and there was probably another 30 left in the reserve!

7 Foot 02 November 2004 07:22 PM

Recently developed a gearbox whine whilst working in Belgium. Nursed the car back to Calais, averaging probably 65mph - just over 32 mpg!!

MY00
de-cat
Tek 2.5 + a dawes set at 1.25 bar

I claim 40p per mile expenses and for once I was making good money from driving :D:D

yikes.

Just notioced the bit under your SN name 'Shell Garage, York' :D

wrxmania 02 November 2004 11:18 PM

Yeah - my MY03 will hit 300+ to £40 quid easily. Seem to be more economical than previous versions, which is only a bonus really,

I drove from Aberdeen to Edinburgh on a space saver, never going faster than 55mph and I got around 350 miles out of that tank of fuel :) Usual milage was 250 or so.

That was on my old uk turbo, my sti8 has never seen more than 220 from a tank, usually around 180-190, unless it's on a track where I got under 100 miles from a tankfull :)

Jamo 03 November 2004 12:04 AM

getting an average of 36.5 out of mine at the minute. my 96 wrx.

jamo :)

olliecampbell 03 November 2004 11:34 AM

Wow!

How much of the rev range do you guys use when driving like this? Up to 4k rpm or below 2.5k?

BittenEdges 03 November 2004 03:11 PM

Well mine was on a Motorway journey to Bournemouth from Essex and managed to get 382miles without the reserve light coming on!!

I just feathered the throttle when when building up speeds and kept my distance so i didn't use the brakes at all but I would say I kept it mostly between 2.4 & 3.0..

jmk 03 November 2004 06:05 PM

Managed about 9-10mpg at Donnington Park yesterday. Right laugh until they charged 97p (+ charge if not paying by cash) when it was time to refill.

sKunk 03 November 2004 07:40 PM

I never went above say 2k on the space saver trip.

Yorkie 03 November 2004 09:37 PM

I managed 31 mpg on a drive on the motorway from Chesterfield to Glastonbury in Somerset, mainly motorway driving at a "steady" 65-70 mph and a light foot, MY04 STI :)
It was boring though :(
