Just for the hell of it decided to work out my average MPG. Over the last week the STi8 avargaed just 19.6mpg

I knew it was bad - but not that bad!! Anyone top that and make me feel better??

 

average 17 in mine

 

did 499miles last week, some motorway lots not though, worked it out, 28mpg, very happy with that

 

mwr9 ,40 bucks 165 miles scared to work it out boys
not on an economy drive!!!!!!!

 

My weekend fun car does around 5mpg when driven enthusiastically Glenn, and the fuel it needs costs £11.35 a gallon. Does that make you feel any better?

 

I got 40 miles to just under 1/2 a tank last friday

I was having an insomniac moment a couple of weeks ago. Somehow i ended up working out *how* much my scoob has cost me to date.

Scary thing is, now i can't stop thinking about it, and keep thinking of bits i've missed!

Until i get in, start the engine, and have the scooby installed again!!!

John.

 

I worked out that changing the scoob (20 mpg) to a more economical (30 ish mpg car) based on 10k miles per year - would only save a few hundred quid!

Hence I still have a scoob and dont give a crap about fuel consumption anymore!

Thats the attitude..........

And think of the smiles you would lose for that extra couple of hundred......

 

Exactly.

hmmm never seen a thread about this before

 

I've had my STI7 for 6 weeks now and 19.6mpg is the best I've had.

 

MY03 STi TypeUK

Best = 25mpg

Worst = 18mpg

Averaging about 21-22mpg at the moment.

Still love it though!

 

Yip did 330 last week mostly motorway miles 28.6.

:-)

 

Average over 2 1/2 years was 16.7mpg in a 250bhp MY99

Worst was 9mpg and that was over one full tank and NOT on a trackday

 

MY03 STi TypeUK

On Saturday I went from Bristol to Manchester and back on a single tank.
356.1 miles 55.3 litres Optimax = 29.27mpg Anyone broken the magic three-o??
Of course it was a tedious 68-70mph motorway crawl but still, shows you can get reasonable mpg out of the old girl if you can control your urges
The worst bit was watching 2 XK8's and a DB7 potter past and resist the urge to say hello Scratch that, the worst bit was watching Novas, Vectras and a banged out Renault 5 trundle by
I only saw one Scoob, right at the start on the M5 ... where were you all hiding??

 

I got 13.9mpg in my rangie the other day...although it does run on LPG..

 

lol ya dont no how lucky you are i miss the 20mpg of the scoob i'm very lucky & driving off boost if i get near 17mpg in me RX7 & oops i just got a new (thirstier) ECU as well it's there for burning (money & fuel lol)
Si

 

absolutually no bull!!

best - 37.something mpg
average - 25 mpg
worst - 11.5 mpg

Thats on a UK spec 96 turbo, centre decat, STi airfilter

 

37 mpg must have had the car on a trailer for most of the time or the missus filled her up and didnt reset the trip counter. In three years I have never broken the 300 mark and usually put in fule when the light comes on, taking about 50 litres. So I know there would be a further 40/50 miles from the tank if I ran it dry. Are you guys using this formula to work out what you WOULD get to a tank or is the reading what you get on the forecourt?

 

22mpg from last £15

 

just filled up last week (optimax) warning light had been on for about 5 miles 265 miles when light came on again, mainly B roads and town so 90% off boost my 02 wrx.

 

I get average of 160miles to the full tank
max 265 trying to keep it 70mph all the way
min 95 thrashing the living cr#p out of it

sti 5 standard wagon

 

do about 40 to 45 miles to a tenner of shells finest.(its at 79.9 at the mo in warrington.) don't think of mpg. my record is 50 mile to £15 pound, and thats when it was at 77.9pence1

 

I'm just going into an STi with PPP. My last toy, an Ultima GTR averaged out at about 10 - 12 mpg. 5 or 6 was not uncommon! Still 6.7L of iron V8 can do that!

Paul.

 

Blimey! Not difficult to spot the drivers with the lead wellies on!

Always think it feels better when visiting one of Mr Shell's garages to think of it as a little investment

 

lol

 

dont forget if you speedo is over reading by 10% then your getting 10% better economy

 

No, Seriously! 37.something mpg, only got it once thou, that was diving from down south to the lake district up north, 80mph most of the way, just a chilled drive!!!

but every day driving my average is 21 - 22 mpg

 

Only just got mine and worked out mpg on my first tank - 23mpg. (Esso super unleaded - wanted Optimax but was too desperate to go hunting around for a Shell Garage)

Seems like thats perfectly normal - I'll be using just optimax from now on and I'll try a tank driving like an old lady and a tank driving like I stole it and see what the difference is, lol should be quite a bit.

As other people have said, I didn't buy the Scoob for it's fuel economy
