roughly wat kinda mpg would you get and how many miles to a tank? (i no it depends on how u drive but say aggresive and normal sorta mixed lol?)

it has a decat, induction kit and inlet manifold. would that loose you many mpg and if the induction kit was replaced bk to standard would that bring the mpg up a bit?

and is it worth going for a 1.6 sport over a 1.4 sport?

and is there anything i would need to look out for especially?

i no its a lot of questions lol...thanks for any help!

Driving to and from work my 1.4 Sport was no better than my Impreza. I managed 350miles to a full tank on a motorway journey though.

Ive had 340miles to a tank in my 1.4 16v sport. Im normally getting around 260 miles to a tank at the minuite though.

Id advise you to get the 1.6. I would if I had the choice again

Negligable really from my experience, might make a tiny difference. You'll probably get less MPG from booting it because you like the noise though

£40 to 350miles doesnt seem to bad, your imprezza is this good? or are we talking range?

I'm guessing the 350 miles was in the Corsa. I cant see a Impreza doing that!

No, I was saying town driving the Corsa was no better than driving the Impreza under the same conditions.

I get 40mpg on a run, with inlet full exhaust and induction kit on a 1.6 16v.

Round town about 30-35mpg.

Edit - Was no worse on fuel when the inlet was fitted.
