I set my weekly target of 200 miles to a full tank, anything else is a bonus!

A little on the low side but if your trips are all short, having an auto and being this time of year (colder start-ups) then I can quite believe it.

I get around 230miles to the tank before my light comes on. It depends on how u drive and the auto defintley uses more fuel. My last car was a manual E46 M3 the 1 b4 that was a SMG E46 330coupe which used the same MPG as the manual M3!

When you buy a Scooby, get yourself your own petrol station!

That's 25 pence per mile or 1 pence per 70 yards!

i put 20 pound in a week,i do 115 miles to that.

lately,20 quid gets me 18.5 litres,so its harder to get 115 miles but im currently on 150 km with a smidge left so should get 105-110 this week out of 20 quid

01 WRX Bug I get about 260ish depending on weather, cold weather I get far worse economy. thats also £50 to fill the tank... 140 seems low to me, but I guess yours weighs a little more and sound like the tank is smaller...

If you want fuel economy I suggest a different car I love my scooby and it has nothing to do with economy.

Drive it enjoy it and write off a extra hundred pounds a month at least for petrol.
