Default how many miles for £20!

I was just wondering how many miles do you guys and girls get for £20
also do you do motorway or town driving or a mix of the 2.
I get about 160 miles out of 20 quid, this is with a mix of town and motorway.
does this mean i am driving like a fanny or just very smooth

By the way should add i have got a my04 wrx with no mods

how much do you pay a litre, or how many litres/gallons do you get for you £20 ?

assuming £20 is say 5.5 gallons then 110 miles ish

On an MY01 WRX, no mods...

Best ever: 180mls (just after I bought the car, once only!)
Worst so far: 120mls (quickly on country lanes)
Normal daily stuff about 150mls, that's mostly short runs. Or about 160-170 on motorways.
At this time of year doing shorter runs from cold and warming car up/defrosting does bad things for range. There is noticeable drag until about 7-8 miles covered - guess this must be the diff oil warming up? (the water temp is normal after only a few mins)

I have an 04 Sti type uk.

40 quid equals 130 miles so 20 quid equals 65 miles. I must admit though that I floor the thing non stop!!!!!

MY96 JDM WRX Auto Wagon with big bore exhaust and lead in right shoe...90-110 miles for £20 of Optimax.

Would get better consumption, but enjoy the kickdown of the auto box too much.

Try an auto..it will open your eyes, not a pipe and slipper car that most people think it is.

£20 gives me about 200km (Mk1 JDM) on Optimax @ about 86.9p/litre. Mix of town and motorway, driving like a fanny and giving it some. So i'm not doing bad. I run an Apexi PFC but i used to get about the same on the OEM ecu too.

93 WRX, fully decatted.

Mostly town and the odd burst here and there, I get about 100-120 miles on £20. This week though I've got only 100 miles out of £25 :c)

I've also noticed that I definately get more mpg using esso sl rather than optimax, dont know why but there's a huge difference.
