by chanber on 24-11-08 03:34 PM Hi Guys, 2 weeks ago i got a 03 lib 2.5rx as my first car, as i am still a student working to pay off the car. Everything thats able to cut off the expensive petrol price would be a very good news for me. |

by d_generate on 24-11-08 06:40 PM If you have United/Liberty/Kwik servo's over there give the 98 a try, I'm getting 40-50K's per tank more than I was on BP 98 & the car runs great. |

by smythie on 25-11-08 09:08 AM oh, and for your safety (on the off chance you need the spare) when you check your tyre pressures, check the spare as well |

Yeah i saw the 99.9 this morning as well. Which means it still costs $1.10 ish:ohmy: anyway. Anyway if you want to save on petrol, don't drive a subaru, they may not be as big as commo but they are really quite a heavy car because of the AWD. |

by Robt on 25-11-08 08:42 PM I just saw Clarkson, Hammond and May do 750miles on a tank. My advice, diesel or hoof it. Remember thats its not what you drive but how you drive it. Remove the rear seats, the front passenger seat, miss meals and keep the tank low and run red lights. |

by ocean on 26-11-08 01:23 PM A Subaru is a heavy car and rolls very well....if you can see that you are going to have to stop up ahead take your foot off the little pedal and roll as much as possible in a high gear. You don't have to be getting in the way of other traffic as the car does not slow quickly at all. |

I work a Liberty servo and we buy our petrol from Caltex. I think because most Liberty servos are indepentant it varies which company they get their fuel from. Food for thought. If you wanna save some petol make sure the engine is running at its best. What kinda consumption are you getting? If its **** theres a few things u can do to make it run better: Get a can of UEC from a Subaru dealer New spark plugs New ignition leads New O2 sensor (if its mcrooted) New air filter Injector cleaner Check for any leaks in the intake New fuel filter Probably a few more things but those 9 things will give you much better economy if your lacking in that department. |

by Grisly on 30-11-08 04:59 PM Warm your car up before any long trips (I tend to warm my engine up until it hits 1000 rpm) in doing so the engine will not be running as rich ( will have taken it out of the equivalent of choke) and also the oil will have warmed up to a thicker consitency (making everything slide into position ie: gears). I have an N/A 2.2 but doing this before long trips makes it run better and more fuel efficient. |

and not that E10 crap either..
Sure, you can go drive a Barina or something and get awesome fuel economy, but you'd feel so much better in a Lib. Lol good luck with the fuel saving!
