Fuel econonemy figures.
Looking to buy an STI7 with PPP but am a bit worried about the fuel econ (ok yeah yeah if you want economy dont buy a fast car)
I had a UK99 turbo wagon with 80000 miles on the clock before and could just about afford to run it but am concerned that the STI7 might be even worse??? can anyone give me any idea as to what your getting to the gallon and miles per tank?????? how long is a piece of string I know but if I get a few replies then I can average them out.
many thanks in advance

 

20-25 mpg - depends on the weight or your right foot!

 

Used to average about 22mpg, and that was taking it pretty easy

Good Luck
Darren

 

Dan,

I get between 17 and 25 depending upon the type of journeys etc.

Im selling my non PPP STi7 here if your interested (free plug) http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/threa...hreadid=258139

Add PPP to it and its still a bargain

Thanks mark NICE CAR but I have allready found one, I am just trying to make my mind up at the moment (girlfriend has said I can Though).
Thanks for the info guys
keep em coming

 

i averaged 18mpg im my sti 7 with center decat an back box

 

My STi7 average was 15mpg but now PPP'd about 17mpg. This is on town driving and spirited runs

But I have achieved 25+mpg on Motorway runs and bad weather and traffic

Mine's the same as Tony's

 

27.9 on m-way... around the same as everyone else bimbling about around 22-25... If you got for a blast then dig deep as its about £1 a minute!

 

around town I get about 16-18mpg, I once got 30mpg, but average about 20-22mpg.
PPP made little difference to my figures.

If the girlfriend has said you can buy it do so NOW, and worry about the mpg later :-)

 

NXG I know what your saying m8 but I do 30k a year and the UK classic turbo I had was killing me!
But saying that I have a Nissan Almera hire car and I didnt half hate putting a tank of fuel in it, just seemed like a waste of money, never felt it was a waste putting a tank of gas in the Scooby as you new you would have fun using it.
looks like fuel returns would be a bit better than my old Scoob though.

 

I get 20/25 mpg but was worse before i got PPP 18/22 mpg . Strongly recommend you getting PPP better mpg with it but better performance when you need it!
