What MPG does the F1 guy get??

Never seen 270 miles to a tank.

And I am very smooth, allegedly !!!

 

Gary.

What's your problem, chill. I only asked the question as I was concerned my car was running to rich or burning to much fuel. I thought his forum was for advice and not criticism. Get back in your cage........

Thanks for those who have replied. I have a decat RB5 with dv and Tek3. Most of my driving is in town with blasts around the country roads. This explains my excess fuel then!

 

Just comical watching the same threads rolling through time and time again ........ You can almost set your watch by them.

45 mins till the next corsa / nova slating thread and then an hour behind that its scoob V M3 time ....

Oh and I get about 90 from a full tank in mine when I use it properly.

Here, here, I'll second that blast-a-gram :>).

It does sound like this thread is full of peeps who don't drive the Scooby as it was designed for.
Best case scenario = 170
Worse case scenario= 100ish

Look at this bloke. Posted thousands of times, wonder how many have just been making comments like this. Why did you enter this thread if you've seen it all before. Just done it to ruin a perfectly reasonable thread and I think you've got too much time on your hands if you've sitting there monitoring new threads and getting yourself worked up over the topic choice.

 

i get about 200-220 to a fuill tank driving about 100 of them on the motorway.

That's in my 02 STI with full decat, induction kit and baily D/V

In my old RB5 with tek3, full decat and induction i was getting between 250-300 with the same driving.

P.S that is with Optimax

 

Now now girls, at least take tem paces before whipping your handbags out.!!

Oh sorry, I get about 19 to the gallon in my WRX 04.

Not sure if thats good or bad (and thats not a woman thing before you all jump on the band wagon)!!

Lurvas ya all

Oops now whos on a high horse, I meant ten paces. It was a deliberate mistake to catch you out of course!

 

PMSL .......my work here is done.

Some forums, for instance the wonderful, sane, and not-at-all fcuked-up ultimateguitar.com, have a newbie's forum where Frequently Posted Threads and ****e like that get moved to.

 

220 driving round town with 20 mile runs as well. Managed to get 420 miles on the motoway....

 

Normally around the 270-280 mark. Managed 340 miles the other day (all motorway driving @ 70MPH)

We'd all get out more if we could afford the fuel!

 

PMSL....thought id join the fun...

 

200 mpg, what planet are you on? i get about 17 mpg, dont no about 200

 

Bu66er i only average 150 miles per tank.......

I get about 250 miles per tank, pottering around town etc.

If it get's a run out, motorway etc. and I resist the urge to floor it everywhere, a bit more.

 

Some people need to go on anger management training me thinks ...

Gary

Ps i didnt meen to call you a name i just dont like getting slaged about my spelling it a touchy subject. OK !!

 

Was not complaning about the spelling, gasoh.

 

04 WRX, no mods

averaging 29-30mpg, lots of m-way, 70 miles/day commute

managed 330 miles on about 11 gals yesterday, almost all m-way, dual-carriage, cruising 80-90 where possible. really good to be able to get to the Ps and back on a single tank!

Had a 95 GL before the WRX and averaged ~32mpg in that so no question the newer cars are LOADS more efficient than the old ones if its important to you

Have i read this right?

 

Wahey just got 290 out of a tank.

Maybe try for 300 next time..........or maybe not it drove me mad doing 65 all the way to dover.

 

Ahhhhhhh, at last - someone else who achieves a sensible MPG whilst still having some fun. See; it can be done. My worst was an average of 24MPG and that included about 50% short journeys and stop-start stuff with longer more spirited driving. It really pays to avoid short cold engine journeys and unnecessary redlining. Yes I know I'm boring so I'll be off now to my whist evening down the old folks home. Toodle-pip.
