i've just bought a subaru impreza sportwagon and it drinks fuel like hell, i only have to do 30 miles and it drinks quarter of a tank, is this normal?

 

is that 30 miles hard,,or is it just taking it steady

best thing to do it get it down to scooby clinic and get them to put it on the rolling road to see if its running right

thats cheap ,anyway back to the thread lol ,,,,, im not sure how hungry it is to run i havnt had it long enough to notice some fuel gauges go down realy quick at first then slowly drop then seem to stay still,see what you get from a full tank ,also i imagine if i drive the car everywhere at full boost it would hammer the petrol so drive like a biddy

 

is it a sport?

 

if it is its drinking like a homless person ....funny thing is why do homeless people drink tennents ????????

 

thanks 4 that, not sure if its a sport. if only i could drink tennets like that!

 

thats not driving hard

 

a sport is a none turbo impreza - came without bonnet vents from the factory....

is it VERY fast?

 

no it's not a sport this is a turbo it go's like stink

 

 

one thing it has got is a big bore exaust will that make much difference

 

try doing a search on 'fuel consumption/mpg' I'm afraid it's a welcome to the club reply as the best you're likely to get is 22-23Mpg..!

The difference between taking it easy (70 in top on m'way) and ragging it everywhere (except on track) is something like 26 v's 22, so not that much to be saved. TBH you might as well rag it everywhere..

Do the brimmed to filler neck/100 miles/brimmed to filler neck test to get an accurate figure. If it's much less than 20 it would be wise to get it checked out..

 

I fink its about right, I used up almost half a tank yesterday doing 65miles!! with the odd occasion of the heavy right foot syndrome
but then u dont buy scoobs for fuel economy...
