It amazes me how so few people can work out their cars mpg. 
Fill tank up till the pump clicks, re set trip computer, use fuel up, fill up car again and there you have it. You have a set distance travelled and a set amount of fuel needed to replenish the tank. Simples! All this 'well i get 300miles to £60' is irrelevent as it depends on how big your tank is and how much the fuel cost at the time!
Mileage covered/litres used x 4.545. Job done.

You can do 300+ miles per tank in a 340bhp MY99 Classic on a steady motorway cruise......but that's not exactly what the cars was meant for! 
Whenever a mate asks me about fuel consumption I say it fluctuates between below average to George Best, depending on how heavy you are with the right foot!

I don't agree with some of the comments made on this thread, it does matter what sort of mpg you are getting. A lot of people including me use our Impreza's as an every day car so its important to get a good return in fuel in the week, and then have fun with it at the weekend

the only chance I had to test out max mpg (cos who has the patience for that usually) was to banbury for the gathering, and got 360 miles to the tank on my 315bhp '99.
usually its 180-220 miles.
what sized fuel tanks do the newages have?

6 mpg on track, and 30 mpg only the once...
Mostly 23 mpg in mixed use, no patience me !
dunx
P.S. I have seen 330 miles before filling, which is around 27 mpg.
