Default My MY03 MPG

Im getting average of 23mpg and i dont even consider im driving it any where near hard. Went to torquay other week and drove it carefully trying to get best mpg and best i got was 30mpg. Something wrong or normal (only owned car 3 weeks).

Spec ?

Mine does 6 mpg on track, 22 mpg generally, and just maybe 25 mpg if I'm "chilled out".

Standard MY02 WRX here. Never achieved 30mpg. Long runs = 26mpg, short trips to work = 22mpg. Long term average about 25mpg.

Not quite, i thought mpg might be down from the "Book" 37mpg motorway usage. but by trying hard to acheive 30mpg on motorway journeys (30miles a day), thought this was low. If its not way off what others doing then fine, does make me chuckle that my old M3 convertible did 28-30mpg around town easily with booting itat times and even got 37mpg on motorway journey once or twice

Guess im off to shell garage tonight to sign up to shell drivers club lol

I think there is something wrong with your car or your maths had a few scoobs never got more than 300 on a long run no matter what speed.
