How far have you pushed it? - fuel!
 
Obivously not about going fast, no one on here speeds ;)

However, did manage to see 348.2 miles before the orange light came on yesterday after a long run up the A68 at about 70mph which is didn't think was half bad. Normally it is more like 280 and that's with luck!

MY03 WRX non PPP

What's everyone else doing? It was fairly cold and also dry which i think should help.

dmc1980 20 February 2007 10:24 AM

TonyG 20 February 2007 10:29 AM

Don't know on how far on a tankful, but have managed 31 mpg from a MY00 with sports cat

lee green impreza 20 February 2007 10:43 AM

Gear Head 20 February 2007 10:47 AM

Managed 37mpg on a 100 mile round trip once in my old uk turbo.
Was only doing 60mph all the way there and back though. :thumb:

cookstar 20 February 2007 10:56 AM

I got 340 miles from a tank once, did a thread on it and it lasted for ages :wonder:

Have had it down to 50 from a tank though :D

kgt 20 February 2007 10:57 AM

B*gger, I thought my 343miles a week ago was a world record, but since I couldnt find Norris McWerters phone number I didnt bother mentioning it.

collierm 20 February 2007 11:21 AM

Managed 301 miles in my 03 STI once from a full tank, daren't have pushed it any further, i was driving into Dorset at the time, don't see many petrol stations in the cunry side.

Wurzel 20 February 2007 11:23 AM

just over 500 km and the light still had not come on but decided to fill up just incase the light had broken :D

AndyP's_P1 20 February 2007 11:49 AM

I nomally hit around the 200 mark in the P1

Multijfj 20 February 2007 12:05 PM

I usually get around 160 miles to 3/4 of a tank, then I fill up. So around 200-210 to a full tank I guess

cookstar 20 February 2007 12:10 PM

*waits for Gutman Pug to appear

"here we go again":D

dpb 20 February 2007 12:29 PM

Rince 20 February 2007 01:13 PM

I only manage about 180-200 miles from a tank !!!

2000 UK Calssic

Jap Import 20 February 2007 01:17 PM

200 miles, modded STi RA

teamheath2 20 February 2007 01:18 PM

I managed 300 a on a trip to Stranraer!!!! The light was on for ages and I thought I was gonna run out. I'm normally on for around 250 per tank though in MY98 UK Turbo

ex-webby 20 February 2007 01:20 PM

250miles out of a 50ltr tank on my Spec C. That was from full to bone dry! :D

Circa 370-380bhp/360lbft - must all be in the mapping, as I don't hang around when driving. ;) :D

fivetide 20 February 2007 01:55 PM

Normally sitting in traffic on the work run its been 270 and i tink with a bit of right foot action i could see that drop a lot further. i was gutted it didn't actually make it to 350 though. Wasn't driving like a grannie just wasn't speeding!

wrxcraig 20 February 2007 01:57 PM

get about 200 miles from mine but never let it go past 1/4 tank

jayltee1 20 February 2007 02:36 PM

I'm used to be on about 220miles when I hit the 1/4 mark (that's 45 litres = 22mpg). Since getting the MY05 WRX PPP'd I haven't had enough fill ups to gauge it - I think I am down to 20mpg under normal conditions, although got 24 from a 400 miles run up North and back on the weekend.

1168 20 February 2007 02:44 PM

normally between 130-160 to the tank,got about 210 once on a steady run

ncavna 20 February 2007 02:58 PM

200-230 at best!

MY03 WRX

MickeyWRX 21 February 2007 01:32 PM

MY05 WRX PPP 280 normally around country roads but it once went to around 340 on the motorway!

Boost II 21 February 2007 02:34 PM

Done all sorts of different driving over the years but it has never shifted from 220-250 mile before the orange light. Once or twice I have squeezed a further 30-40 miles on top but it has been coughing and spluttering for fuel and only just made the garage in time. (MY00 turbo)

Norman Dog 21 February 2007 04:35 PM

I get 200 - 210 per tank (19.7 to 20.4 mpg) Standard Blobeye WRX

Who cares! You don't buy a Scoob for fuel economy :D

abc 21 February 2007 08:02 PM

36.5 mpg on a 120 mile trip on mixed roads, not going above 60. MY05 WRX PPP, Optimax.

Strongly suspect it'd be less on V-Power now...

Alan MaC 21 February 2007 08:29 PM

302 miles petrol light well on.

When I filled up, there was 8 litres left.

Not particularly thrashing it.

Jesus, that must have been bone dry. Can only get 220 from mine and thats if I keep filling until its nearly overflowing.

At the other end of the spectrum: burned a full tank in six laps of the Nurburgring (about 75 miles).

Smifster 22 February 2007 09:08 PM

On a motorway I got 320 before the light came on - Steady 80MPH. Filled up today when only done 210 miles. Got 4.6MPG when I went to the Nurburgring! :thumb:
