Hi, I'm a bit worried about my fuel consumption. I drove 170 miles, 140 of this was on the motorway at 70 mph, the rest around town but mostly driving gently. I worked it out to be an average of 27 mpg, is this normal? I have heard some people saying it should be doing 35 mpg at 70 mph? Thanks

 

That's seems about right

 

You shouldn't own a scooby or any performance car if you are worried about fuel consumption or insurance costs mate!

 

wished i got 27mpg! i average about 18 if that, although most my miles are city

 

Its not the cost, I just want to make sure it's running properly. If that consumption is normal then that's fine. I must say it's dosnt feel as smooth since I changed the oil. I put some comma 10/40 in it, maybe I should put something better in it.

 

1. No such thing as a hatch was built in 1998.
2. You got good mpg for the car and your driving roads.
Anyone who gets over 30mpg has done brilliantly, but really needs to be driving a Rover 75 or a Volvo

 

i dream of 25mpg

 

12 mpg around town some straight roads loved every miniute of it

 

i got 33mpg out of my 2005 STI....once...never again!
