Default How many miles??????????????????

Evening guys and gals just a quickie (as normal).Just wondering if any of you had an idea on how many miles I should be getting per full tank of fuel (v power) Dont post in miles per gallon I'm simple and do not know how to work it out.Never run the car to empty or dont drive like I stole it either (well not all the time) lowest i've run the tank is just below the quarter and got around 140 miles upto that point.I'm driving a Classic Impreza Turbo 2000 running 255+ bhp.

I average around 240 to a 'tank' (in the middle of the E but no light on). Nearly forgot, it's a 98 STI with a decat - 302 bhp

I have a classic turbo (MY00) too, running similar Bhp, i stick in £50/£55 worth of Vpower and get roughly 200/220 miles depending on how i drive it,
sometimes less if im feeling a little 'nippy'

try to swap MAF sensor prehaps for £70 as it will be due

had my MY00 turbo for 7 years and do 7 k per annum optimax

averaged 220 per tank for 5 years then swapped maf sensor and started to use Tesco super unleaded and occasionally v power

the tank has gone up to 250 per tank to need filled

mixture of town and a couple of long but FAST runs per month
fully decatted and heavy shoes too

I get 200 - 215 per tank, about 20ish to the gallon.

If you need to work out MPG use this link, very handy

A mixutre of roughly 24-25 MPG in town, which goes up to 28MPG on long runs.

Mixed driving style.

This equates to around 240-250 to the tank, if I let it get down that far.

MY98 UK Turbo.

Default MPG

If i fill my 2002 WRX up with say £48.00 i will get 200 miles, mostly around town and short journeys, dont get the time to give it any stick cos its barely warmed up when i get to work etc.

Standard apart from H&S backbox.
