And it will not take more than 43Litres ..... therefore I reckon I have a 45 Litre tank.

Yet some on here say I have a 60 Litre tank???

MY2000 Classic UK car.

I get 380miles from a tank so thats 38mpg ...... but, if it is a 60 litre tank it will obviously be only 29mpg???

Confused ............

Pete,

I'm not gonna argue :

1) you have the finger on the button re our nuclear weapons

2) even more important, you are omnipotent as far as bad reps are concerned !

Andy

pslewis

I indeed have massive firepower via the Rep system ..... which is only right as I am highly thought of, clearly

And you have only ever had positive Reps from me I think?

The ***** are worried, and should be, we don't want them ruining our Forums with claptrap ...........

The ***** days are numbered

Dodgy warning light ? - 29 mpg sounds believable - 38 does not

andythejock01wrx

A fair point well made Pete (as he retraces his steps, sheepishly).

PS. I reckon your tank will be 60 litres.

GC8

You have a 60 litre tank Pete; the same as everyone else with a late Classic.

andythejock01wrx

Pete,

The big guns have come into play. Simon has almost as much rep firepower as you !!

pslewis

Nah ............ Bubba Po and I can wipe someone off the board with a carefully aimed 2 pronged attack - Simon is extremely small fry to us!

And yes, Simon, I know I have been told I have a 60 Litre tank but I can only ever get 43 Litres in ....... now, either my light/gauge is fooked - or I actually have a 45 Litre tank!?

If the light/gauge has failed it seems odd that it has failed a exactly the point at which 'other' capacity the Impreza had??

Perhaps you were sold a sneaky JDM import

pslewis

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Nice answer

Torquesteer

Pete, why don't you just say what you are really getting at. I.E. 'My ***** is bigger than all of yours!'

andythejock01wrx

Surely this can't be a new problem Pete ? Haven't you had your car for 7 years ? Perhaps the fuel tank has shrunk ?

You'd normally have about 2 gallons when the low fuel level warning light comes on (AFAIR). 1 UK gallon = 4.544 litres

Anyway, I'm off to wash the Scoob.

Andy

pslewis

On the contrary ..... I have a TINY *****!!

Torquesteer

Think he is just feeling lonely at the moment!

Torquesteer

Sorry, I meant that you are trying to say, 'I AM BETTER THAN ALL OF YOU!'

Perhaps you have run over something, bashed a big dent in the bottom so now it wont hold as much

GC8

The gauges are far from accurate Pete. My 'Wagon will manage '40mpg' on the first half of the gauge but 1/2 to 1/4 disappears far more quickly and the last 1/4 of a tank displayed is so vague that I always fill-up.

The 'other' capacity that you mention was 50 litres but it was improved long before your car was built.

Are you overlooking the large reserve capacity, that remains when your low fuel lamp illuminates?


Simon

pslewis

I have been posting on here that I was getting 38mpg and I was being slated for it!!!

They said I had a 60 Litre tank - I believed them and just filled up whenever ignoring really what was what ..........

BUT, recently I have noticed that I can only get 43 Litres in!!!

Fact remains, of course, that I get 350 miles between 43 Litre fill ups .... that means I am getting 37 mpg, roughly!

Torquesteer

Why you just drive until you run out of fuel, then fill up?

borat52

I can't believe you waste your time taking any notice of these worthless gauges and flashing lights, and then waste even more calculating your MPG from it. Take no notice of them and it won't do you any harm at all. Look at lawnmowers, they dont have fuel gauges and mine never breaks down

pslewis

Well, I am really confused ............. my light comes on, I drive some more, the needle is nearly off the scale and 43 Litres is all I can get in!

catalunya199again

38mpg is never going to happen in a sport let alone a turbo

pslewis

Thats daft! Why would I do that?

Torquesteer

I did get 37mpg out of my UK 99 Turbo once, but that was at a constant 55/60mph on a motorway run.
Pete, stop lying, every knows that you're lying.

Have you upset all the local kid's?
Perhaps they have filled your tank with stones!!!

pslewis

It was nearer 37!

pslewis

Don't worry too much about it all ........... just that I think I have a 45Litre tank (or, as Simon has pointed out above, a 50 Litre tank!)

But I should have a 60!!

andythejock01wrx

So in that 7 years you've never put 50 litres of fuel in your car Pete ?

pslewis

I really cannot remember ever doing that - NO!

I fill up to go to Cornwall or Yorkshire and its always around 40-45 Litres!

And for that I do about 380 miles before I need to stop for fuel again.

andythejock01wrx

Hmmm. Expect your dealership would be able to tell the difference by a visual inspection.

Why would you want to go to Yorkshire anyway ?
