I was very happy with my mini cooper turbo diesel, it was fun on the back roads and not too bad on the motorway. My workmate had a fiesta diesel, and it was a bit **** to be honest. If I had had one of those, I think I would have driven the subaru anyway..

I recon you've got the perfect balance now, all this modding mallarky is fine, but you end up spending more time under it than in it, and they just sit in the garage, i don't think considering what you've been through over the past few years modding that you want to go back to having a car in the garage again, you seem to earn well enough so you might as well enjoy it, and subarus are your thing, life's too short not to have what you like, and i think you will hate being in anything else, the first time you drive to work in whatever you get, you'll think, i'm a prat for doing this.

I do a 62 mile per day commute about half motorway and half a/b roads, I normally get about 220 miles from a tank from my 2006 Sti with normal sort of driving not going over 70, don't know how people are getting 300 miles plus per tank out of their cars, I can't get anywhere near that even if I drive like a grandad on a Sunday LOL

How many miles extra to a tank do you get just out of interest?

I do about 240 miles a week 170 work run and 70 round the doors work run is about 17 miles made up of 6 miles town stuff 5 miles motorway and 6 miles a/b roads it does about 26 mpg. I do 11,500 miles a year the only way you can justify £400 insurance £460 road tax and £450 ish servicing and £300 wear n tear items Tyres Brakes etc. With fuel it works out £90 a week to run the same as my weekly shop at Morrisons and that takes 40 minutes lol. So to sum up 40 minutes in a shopping trolley or a week in a Subaru bargin.

Im doing about 250 miles a week at the moment in my Hawkeye mostly motorway if sticking to motorway speed I get about 275 miles to a tank.
BUT as strange as this sounds if the motorway is clear and I can go faster I get over 300 miles to a tank must be a more effecient rev range higher up???

I commute 20 miles a day
Use mostly the wrxd which gives me 480 to the tank
I take the Greenwagon once or twice a week also and that gives 250 per tank
It motivates me getting into the scooby in a morning
We also have a Honda accord sport nice big luxury car which gives us 350 per tank and prefer that for the shopping trips and long distance trips
