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

chrisp

just filled mine 24.5mpg

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

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

Flat 4x4

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). 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.

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 ?

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

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

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

Wow!

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

BittenEdges

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..

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

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

Yorkie

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
