Yep, had a late 1.8GL for 8 years, 120k miles, and yes rarely got much better than 32 even on a run, thats on ordinary unleaded and cruising a little slower

Just did a run from Plymouth to Slough and back, 442 miles in all, on a single tank of fuel!! Only thing was, i did an average of 55-60 mph. Boring, I know, but i felt like a gentle drive rather than the usual "Can't anyone keep up" type run..... Running a MY00 UK Turbo with Magnex downpipe and Scorpion b/box. Still, i reckon that's pretty good mpg....

sounds excellent to me, I recently completed a trip with a round trip mileage of just under 300 miles. just scraped it on full tank at 65/70.

Guess that extra 10MPH makes all the difference. just wish i had cruise control when driving at those speeds.

gumballer@STI

never more than 200 miles in the STI.


last week i went on a run and emptied the tank after 101 miles

cant by excitement like that in shops

Good call on the cruise control...Do any older models have it? (I've a 94 WRX JDM)

I've a courtesy car at the mo (Scooby ready for next week apparently! ) and that's got C Control...will really miss not having that again in Scooby!

I've done 350 to a tank - driving at an indicated 80mph down from up north. Was quite pleased with that. I normally get about 245 to a tank using the car going daily to work and back ( Basingstoke to Maidenhead - A33 and M4 each day)


Cheers all

my scoob is now my second car, since I put on a bigger turbo I have never got over 200 miles out of a tank only drive the thing on the weekend and always needs filling up

But out of the 30k on the clock I can't have done more than 4k of those on a motorway - theres always a better way than a motorway or is that just me... the missus goes mad planning trips via A and B roads

Mr Sympathy

WRX PPP 332 miles to the tank average 26 mpg, best 30
T25 22mpg average, best 29

Sideways, the way forward

All the newish scoobs get really good mileage.... the further you go back the worse the mpg gets. I had a slightly tweaked series mcrae impreza on a 95 plate that got only 180miles-maximum to a tank. Now have a P1 that is faster and i get around 200miles to a tank. Bearing in mind that is running on 98ron shell optimax!!! (as we ALL should be doing!!!) ..... anyone filling at a tesco petrol station should be shot!!!

In my UK turbo i used to average about 200. I now have a type ra and average about 250 even though its more powerful and quicker

Scooby Dan

I usually put £20 at a time in my 02 WRX which gets about 22 litres of Optimax,this gives me between 100 and 120 miles depending on how hard I push it.My 98 Turbo Wagon used slightly more fuel than the WRX.

GEORDIE STI

AVERAGE ABOUT 26

BEST 31

WORST 16/17

Look, Lewis. All these chaps enjoying their cars.

Doesn't congratulating yourself about your ridiculous fuel economy and 60,000-mile brake pads seem really, really hollow at the moment?

Chalkie82-83

in the early wild days i would get about 140 - 150 oput of a tank but since the wow factor of stepping up from a *cough*saxo *cough* has worn off i now get around the 220 mark which is as many as the saxo used to do on £3 per tank less so quite happy

furrydice79

im takin my new MY05 sti on her first trip from london to glasgow n back next week, im gna be drivin through the night with just myself in the car so on the way up i will be driving at whatever speed i feel like. but on the way back im gna sit at 70 the whole way home,then ill post on here what my results were.

a few years back i did glasgow to london in 3hrs 40mins(376miles) used a full tank exactly but i can only dream of getting that from the scoob,lol.

XRS

In my old STi IV I managed over 300 to a tank a couple of times.
In the new one I sart to get nervous around the 200 mile mark.

Needs a bigger tank

G_Sleigh_STi

£45 of optimax = full tank = 185 miles.
