Default classic wrx fuel

Hello,

I'm currently driving a Nissan pulsar and thinking of changing to a wrx classic estate as I meend more space.

I was just wondering on this sort of car how many miles you think I would get for £30?

Thanks

I would estimate on about a hundred or so depending on how you drive.

I get about 175 from a tank of optimax costing £35. But my wagon is modded with a td05 and z4 ecu.

Well I don't ever let my tank run empty ever, but work out the previous fuel economy every time I fill up, and my MY98 WRX wagon does between 22 and 26mpg depending on how I've been driving. So a minimum of 300 miles on a full tank I'd say, but then that's almost £60 worth of Optimax nowadays, which is invariably 6p a litre more than normal unleaded at Shell.

£30 = 30 litres of optimax

30 litres = 6.6 gallons

@ 21mpg = 21x6.6 = 138.6miles
