How Much Petrol Left When On E ?
1. Just wondering if there is an indicater signal to let you no you are low on petrol as i have only had my first Subaru ( WRX ) for two weeks and I'm seing how much i get out the tank ? and it's on E.
2. When I do hit the E level how many miles have I got before the car stops aswell, anybody tried this ?.
3. Why can't I insert an image of my dials ?.
Thx.

My MY03 WRX still has approx 10 litres in it when the light comes on.
Be careful, the engine won't be at all happy about running out of fuel especially if you're caning it at the time, and you will pick up any sh*t that may have been lurking at the bottom of the tank.

like rrh says not a good idea to get that low, i have got some 20 litres jerry cans and if we ever go where there are no shell garages, you always know that youve got optimax on board, so no frantic looking for a shell garage

Ok thx for the advise, I have an 04 WRX and got a shade over the E but still no light came on, Do 04 have a light ?, I have now filled up with Opti. £42 for 48.89 Lrts ..

My personal best was 339.5 miles on 51litres
51ltr / 4.54609 = 11.223gal
339.5ml / 11.223gal = 30.25
Normally only get about 22

I averaged 23 on last weekends return trip to Silverstone- heavily laden and rapid transit, if you know what I mean
I usually average about 19 round town / commuting, but I do have a heavy right foot.
I once saw 30mpg, but think I must have forgotten to zero the trip when I filled up and had actually used two tanks!
The MY03/04 will get to the empty line before the light comes on, I try to fill up pdq just in case.
From fairly extensive track experience, and as no doubt Harvey will concur, Imprezas can suffer from fuel starvation on anything less than half a tank (Granted cornering forces on track are usually considerably higher than on the road)

I got about 10 miles from the E, and it wasnt even half way across the E on my early WRX. I did pretty well in getting 245 to that point but that was on granny mode with no boost or no rapid acceleration and keeping below 3000 RPM which kinda removes the pleasure side

I have always questioned the logic of talking about fuel economy and Jap performance cars at the same time;
IMHO the two can't comfortably co-exist.
Whilst we all moan about the amount of Optimax our cars consume, if we were really that concerned we'd buy citreons (flame suit on, yes I know a Saxo will wipe the floor with an Impreza in the wet through the twisties ), not noisy jap rockets with big ******** spoilers everywhere
/soapbox mode off
