Fuel ConsumptionHi I drive just over a hundred miles each way to work, I get there on a quarter tank so I'm getting about 400 miles to a tank this is mostly at 70 to 80 on dual carriageways I run Shell V power is this unusual as I have been told by a lot of people they only get about 250 miles to a tank?!!
have you you actually got the engine turned on? 400 miles is impossible. I couldn't get 400 miles out of mine if I was pushing it
Re: Fuel Consumption
Is it an imaginary WR1 The WR1 be safe in the knowledge that, short of strapping yourself to an Acme rocket, there's no quicker way to get from A to B.
Re: Fuel Consumption
could be one of those small turbo ones
Lol i know you think i'm nuts but it's 210 miles give or take for me to go to work and back and i can do it on half a tank at motorway speeds, car has been on the rollers is putting out 315bhp 1.5 bar boost original map.
Think you must have a 100 litre fuel tank
How many miles do you do between fuel stops? The WR1 be safe in the knowledge that, short of strapping yourself to an Acme rocket, there's no quicker way to get from A to B.
350-400miles per tank are WRX figures and not STI mpg figures. You most certainly have got an issue and going by your figures it seems to be your turbo has been taken from a WRX not the genuine WR1 turbo.
Suggest you meet up with another WR1 owner and go for a blast in theirs and see if you think theirs feels any faster. But 400 on a tank of fuel is not doable given the WR1 std turbo is on boost at 70-80mph. Alternatively you may have had a sedate open source remap put on limiting boost but still its not "normal".
Even when I had my WRX turbo in the WR1 I was still only getting 260!!
Surprising, my mates wrx got 300-350 a tank on motorway driving. Think you had a fuel leak amongst other things with your Redline Special
Well I filled mine up the other day after my usual 2 weeks of motorway miles.
55.65 litres to fill up at a cost of £80.08 and that gave me 334 miles which is 27.38 MPG. I'd say that I'd probably done 200 miles to where the needle fell to half a tank but in essence the you wouldn't do 200 on the final 1/2 a tank. As it stands now- 202 miles to just under half: Previously:

That's pretty good going, my Mrs just managed similar figures in her WRX And please clean your dash thanks The WR1 be safe in the knowledge that, short of strapping yourself to an Acme rocket, there's no quicker way to get from A to B.
thank your lucky stars you get that much, if you get the 200-250 like the rest of us that would certainly hurt your wallet...
100 miles to and from work you must love work or driving thewr1 400miles per tank the wr1 must be eco friendly after all
it is better to have had a wr1 and lost it than never to have one at all.
As most people have already said somethings wrong!
I drive like Miss Daisy a lot of the time so my mates reckon. I use the car daily and have had the same set of tyres on the car for the last 2 and a half years now ( ) and there's still around 3mm of tread on them! But the best I have ever managed is 290 miles on a full tank. When you lift up the bonnet on your car do you see something like this?
lol think I will need to fill her up and run her dry and see what I get, I 'm just assuming i'm getting that milage based on doing a hundred mile per quarter tank

LOL! So it's complete balls
Hmm I fill mine with VPower and normally spend 50-60 for a full tank. Huzzy is filling up and spending 80 quid. I wonder if either our fuel gauges are out or if some wr1's have different size fuel tanks. Never really looked at the number of litres I put in just normally look at the bill... I know my low fuel light doesnt come on even when my fuel is below the bottom white line... hmm plot thickens. Who is going to be the first to try and run theirs completely out of fuel to see if the gauges are out?
On a 60 litre tank seanyb is getting just over 30 to the gallon then. If that is correct that it up there with a man running the 4 minute mile and Neil Armstrong setting foot on the moon L
had the warning light on and dont think id get more than 20 miles on it b 4 totlly mt

I was doing motorway miles a few yrs ago and had been in touch with Bob Rawle re mpg.
I took his advice and drove off boost ie 65mph ish for a wk and managed 29mpg average. Tesco 99 refilled as always at a quarter full takes about 40litres. After a week of this misery in the slow lane of the M25 normal service was resumed in the fast lane and 23mph irc. The Wr1 fuel gauge definitely not linear and hardly moves from full for a couple of gallons. Then its connected directly to the accelerator pedal. Also for a year I was doing a local twisty B route and did about 16mpg which was a real shock as I had been doing the same route in Vectra 2.6SRi and 25mpg. Dare I say I do miss the bottom end torques of the Vectra. As an aside, while Vectra being serviced, I borrowed a 1.6 Astra from the Vauxhall dealer and thrashed it unmercifully in an attempt to drive at same speeds, achieving a magnificent 25mpg on its computer. I did also make enquiries with Mocom racing, when they were in North Weald, to see whether economy maps were feasible. But the answer was a negative as likely to blow the engine first time I booted it. 400 mile to a tankful, I couldn't get that on the back of a breakdown truck.
It's about £80 to fill mine from empty - VPower.
For me to fill up from quarter tank is about £60 that's vpower at £1.39 this time I reset the trip meter drove off boost hit the three quarter tank mark at 97 mile hit the half tank at 187 miles then I had to thrash it cause I was late for work! Lol science is hard
LOL at "science is hard"... but it sounds like fun!
