hi everyone ,
its been a long time since ive filled my tank and to be honest im not looking forward to it but out of interest how much does it cost to fill the tank of an 02 wrx with 97 super unleaded now the price is sky high ? cheers

I never let my car drop below 1/4 of a tank so from there £65 to fill with v power

Whats the price in the UK now?

German fuel for super plus is 1.49 a litre

I dont let mine drop below 1/4 either and it cost somethinhg like £50. Guess it will all depend on how much you are being charged for the fuel in the first place.

normally £1.39

From empty or red light anywhere from 78-82 quid for vpower or similar depending on garage price

Is that Euro's mate? When I was at the Ring in June it was 1.49E for 98 Super and 1.60E for 102 but with the 1.1 £/E exchange rate the 98 super still worked out cheaper than uk prices. Was 1.43 for Vpower over here at the time, £1.45 for 102 over there and £1.35 for super

i paid 144.9 last night for v-power, put £60 in.

do you always fill back up when on 1/4 tank then?

i reckon it would have cost the best part of £85 to fill up, if its a 60 litre tank as 10L was pretty much £15 last night

I usually refill when on a 1/4 as the nearest 99/vpower for me is a 25 mile round trip.

I've only run it low once and regretted it as I had to insult her with 97 and some octane booster.

Matt_F

iTrader: (2)

haha at "insult her"

luckily i have a shell garage 3 mile from me, otherwise its a 15 mile round trip or 25 mile round trip to the next nearest ones

is it always handy to have some octane booster in the car for them emergency times?

-shane-

iTrader: (40)

I do yes, I have a Tesco and shell only 2 miles away from me, Ive been told driving below 1/4 of tank hard isn't always good for the car

Matt_F

iTrader: (2)

thanks shane, thats good to no (only got my scoob yest afternoon). when i filled up last night i had just a tad under 1/4 tank, so ill make sure i keep it that way, if it does go under i just wont boot it at all

any specifi octane booster people use or?

It depends what the cars been mapped on Matt. If its a standard ecu then you can get away with 97 but mine was mapped on Vpower so it doesnt do it any good running on a lower grade. Ideally, the next time I get it mapped i'll be dropping to 97 then adding some other mods to compensate for the lower quality. I'll still run vpower/99 when I can but it means i'm not so paranoid about having to find it.

Matt_F

iTrader: (2)

map is set for v-power

thats why im lucky there is 1 shell garage 3 mile away

-shane-

iTrader: (40)

I wouldn't worry to much its just something i've always done

Between 60 and 70 usually, if under a 1/4 and doing any spirited driving you risk fuel starvation on it and fuel surges iirc

99 cents a litre 95 ron in Lanzarote where the sun shines all year, they`ve got mountain roads, and a rally! Should think super is about 1.08 Euro litre. Not surprisingly I saw quite a few Imprezas for a small island.
