Hi all is it true that WRX not the STi version petrol is15km/l ??
I saw it frm the motorimage webby. But some my frens i heard them sayin that it is ard 7km to 8 km/l . Which is the exact information ??
Thanks guys. -
err, feedback from frens is that it hovers around 9 km/l.
-
dpends on how you drive.... It is average at 8-10 KM/litre
which is consider average for a turbo car. -
Heh... the Subaru site says that the FC for their WRX is just as good as a normal saloon car... wonder whether they really tested it...

Normal saloon car in 2.0 L platform is around there... 9-10KM/litreOriginally posted by LH83:Heh... the Subaru site says that the FC for their WRX is just as good as a normal saloon car... wonder whether they really tested it...
TS is already as bad as WRX. The is what my fren always complain to me.... maybe he is using those mickey mouse petrol bah...
Dunno maybe the new ones can but not the one I am owning bah.... -
figures released by manufacturers tend to be more idealistic than real life results, especially if u consider driving in start/stop traffic conditions in sg. mine was quoted to be able to hit 14km/l but i could barely make 11km/l when it was still bone stock
-
icic .. so i presume the current stock of WRX will be able to hit the most is 11km/L ?
-
i think praetorian's figures are the most accurate since he actually drives the car u are talking about. 11 km sounds possible if u keep throttle below 50% all the time and never rev beyond 3k rpm. then like that buy rex for what?
-
15km/l sound a little too optimistic for an WRX...
-
Hmm... are u refering to Honda Jazz instead?
-
wat do u mean bykeepin the throttle by 50% ???
meanin i do not ram the car RPM until 5k to 6k ?? -
I once thought of buying the WRX too, but i pull off after taking the FC into consideration.
I did do an extensive sturdy on the FC then, when i almost buy the rex....... but found out that you will be lucky to be able to hit 9km/l.
Esp you are doing sales, err....forget it, as your fuel will hit at least SGD500-600 a mnth. No joke. -

meaning u only step on ur accelerator halfway all the timeOriginally posted by mitgalant:wat do u mean bykeepin the throttle by 50% ???
meanin i do not ram the car RPM until 5k to 6k ?? rpms rise slower also as a result. -
can get around 18km/l if u r the world record holder, otherwise 1/2 tat figure for general driving.Originally posted by mitgalant:Hi all is it true that WRX not the STi version petrol is15km/l ??

Oh ya, drive strictly on expressway all the time, with aircon off and windows closed, rpm not exceeding 2000rpm, control your speed so that you will never need to brake...and end up at your destination feeling more stress than an F1 driver....Originally posted by Apollo_sg:can get around 18km/l if u r the world record holder, otherwise 1/2 tat figure for general driving. -
yes and no, yes, he did not use aircon and no, i believe he drove abt 55-70km/h, so he does not test the wind drag (aerodynamics) which is one big factor on fuel.
but u r right, it's stressful to b so mundane.... probably why only he can tahan. all the rest gave up...
